It does not appear to meet WP:NCHURCH. Dolotta (talk) 23:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:CHURCH is a guideline naming convention, with no bearing on notability.Eustachiusz (talk) 01:24, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. It was a typo on my end -- forgot an "n". I corrected it above. -- Dolotta (talk) 01:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment. Note that WP:NCHURCH refers to churches as organisations, not church buildings. WP:GEOFEAT is the appropriate guideline for those. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: Historic and notable. The Builder of the church, Father Samuel Mazzuchelli built over 20 churches in three states or territories. This church and four others still survive. This is not only historical but unique. The church was errected around a standing building originally the St. James Church, with one wall open so church could continue, then at a point the building was taken out, moved across the street, and became the St. Clara Female Academy (Original St. James Church pp. 5 & 6) that later became the Benton Female Academy. There are sources for this article. Otr500 (talk) 10:26, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - could you add some of them? I'm inclined to keep this, with a few more sources, but on a (very hasty) search couldn't come up with much. In the worst case the content could be added to the article on Fr Mazzuchelli, since he's not only the founder but is buried there. Eustachiusz (talk) 14:06, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I added some citations; the church is historical. Keep Thank you-RFD (talk) 15:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. Photo included in article, and age of church (built 1852) suggest it is indeed historic and notable, in that it would almost certainly be eligible for listing in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.  Many churches decline to be listed, so it is not unusual that this is not listed.  Also, citations have been added (which I have not reviewed). --Doncram (talk) 19:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Doncram.  Royal broil  03:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Information that I can see about this church makes it appear notable, and sources exist to create  a better article than we have now.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:56, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
