 * Delete or redirect to Rostrevor, South Australia unless sources which establish notability are found. I looked for myself and couldn't find any useful sources. -- Explodicle (T/C) 15:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Rostrevor, South Australia. It is my opinion that small town churches are important enough to the town to be covered in the town's article.  (A given church in a small town is attended by a significant percentage of the town's population where as any given church in a large city is only attended by a tiny percentage of the city.  Thus including it is not undue weight for a small town, but would be for a larger one.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What percentage of the town goes to this church? I don't think we should make any assumptions about attendance without a source. -- Explodicle (T/C) 21:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nominator. - Shiftchange (talk) 12:09, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is true that it is hard to find independent sources, this church is notable both for its growth against trend and influence within the Adelaide Christian community. Regarding the merge request - Rostrevior is not a small town - it's a suburb, and the church's congregation is neither a significant portion of the suburb, nor close to exclusively from the suburb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter.thejackos (talk • contribs) 08:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * if it is hard to find independent sources then it fails WP:GNG and should be deleted. A church being notable in a community is not sufficient reason for being kept. LibStar (talk) 09:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to the place where it is presumably Rostrevor, South Australia. This is usally the best solution for local churches.  Peterkingiron (talk) 10:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
