Polish-Catholic Church in United Kingdom

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This organisation utterly fails WP:GNG and WP:NCHURCH. As a reminder, WP:PASSING mentions cannot be used to establish notability, see WP:SIGCOV.

There is no independent reliable work mainly discussing this group (WP:SIGCOV) anywhere, the only exception being this Katolickiej Agencji Informacyjnej article.

See also the 0 mention of this group on Google Scholar: and.

And this group has only one single mention on Google books: a WP:PASSING mention in a footnote of the 2022 The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration (, p. 292, footnote 2).

Furthermore, this group's website appears to be completely dead. And the UK Register states this organisation was dissolved in 2020, i.e. two years after the organisation's incorporation.

I also suspect User:Uzytkownikmm86, who created this article, is linked to this organisation, due to them posting pictures of this group's clergy and church services on WikiCommons. This would mean this article was created as an mean of WP:PROMOTION for this group.

As a sidenote, I suspect this group is but a new name of Polish Episcopal Church; but this time I have no proof to support my suspicions apart from the fact both Polish Episcopal Church and Polish-Catholic Church in United Kingdom were created by the same user.

Thus, I think this article should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 20:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete NCHURCH mostly applies to individual church building or religious temples, not so much denomination. In general, the community almost always keeps articles about a bona fide religious denomination provided that there is a reasonable level of RS evidence that it actually exists and that it consists of more than a handful of affiliated congregations. Unfortunately, this group fails even that very low bar. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Polish-Catholic Church of the Republic of Poland, where a split can be mentioned based on the cited KAI source (the source is reasonably reliable for an openly Catholic outlet, effectively an official media of Catholic Church in Poland: pl:Katolicka Agencja Informacyjna.

 * Merge to Polish-Catholic Church of the Republic of Poland as explained above, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Polish-Catholic Church of the Republic of Poland per above. Even if it were marginally notable, the extent of content and coverage present indicate to me that this is one of those times that it would be better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic. A short section on activities in the U.K., or a few sentences in the history section of the merge target, would be more than sufficient to adequately cover the nominated article's subject. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 02:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
