Resurrection Catholic Church (Dubuque, Iowa)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of meeting Notability (organizations and companies). Just some parish in Dubuque as far as I can tell. (Article was amended by a WP:COI editor.) Closeapple (talk) 06:09, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Roman Catholic parishes are notable. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 19:24, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only hits I'm getting on Bing News are for obituaries and one article about how the pastor talked about preventing swine flu. Roman Catholic parishes are not automatically notable; both the parish I go to and the parishes my friends go to are not on Wikipedia and shouldn't be; there's even one parish in my city that has more notability than this one but isn't on Wikipedia and isn't likely to be. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  23:02, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability found on searching; seems just an ordinary church. -- 202.124.88.4 (talk) 12:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque Let's see, Iowa joined the union on December 28, 1846; and this church was allegedly founded in 1857.  The article claims they have 2000 families, which assuming 3.5 members per family, that would be 7000 members.  Sounds like the makings for a wp:notable church.  But this article has zero references, so for starters it fails WP:V.  Then there is WP:NOT.  This article does not present the church as being an organization that has attracted the attention of the world at large, rather the article is a work of outreach, which Wikipedia calls WP:Promotion or spam.  In this article we learn that the church will have (future tense) a Valentine's dance in February 2007, which runs afoul of both WP:IINFO and WP:CRYSTAL.  Then there is unsourced information about a living person, which is a WP:BLP problem.  I suggest adding a brief section to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque that focuses on history, and in doing so, only add information found in reliable sources, then use inline citations to reference those reliable sources.  I see nothing worth saving in the current article.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:17, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
