The result was   keep. A landmark is notable enough for inclusion, although this needs to be made more specific and clear on the article page seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  22:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Delete nothing to distinguish this parish among the thousands of other churches or other religious houses worldwide. Fails WP:N. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's a century-old church that's been described as a neighborhood landmark. I don't have time to research now, so I can't judge its notability yet. Baileypalblue (talk) 20:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Is every "neighborhood landmark" notable? Some would contend that not every neighborhood is, much less its landmarks. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree that not every neighborhood landmark is not notable, haven't determined the status of this one -- could be puffery, could be a significant landmark. Looks like it was pretty active around the 1940s, judging from a quick glance at the news results.  Just wanted to establish a starting point for others.

 *  Delete  - the one article listed above is not sufficient. I checked the National Register of Historic places database for NY, Yonkers, and found many historic registered buildings but this church is not one of them.  -- Whpq (talk) 21:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The church's rectory, the John Copcutt Mansion at 239 Nepperhan Ave., is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This article says the mansion is historically and architecturally significant to the city of Yonkers.  I'm not sure if the notability transfers to the church, though.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Amended to Keep based on the rectory being an historic building. -- Whpq (talk) 12:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:05, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: this is deletionism gone mad. Ottre 10:37, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete  Vague references to something being "historic" are meaningless. If the rectory is notable, we should have an article on it. I gather this is what the registry lists as  "Copcutt,John,Mansion" ? if so, the reason for it being on the registry has no connection with the church .. Glad of an opportunity to maintain my status among the rabid deletionists.   DGG (talk) 21:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The article needs to be updated to include mention of its rectory as being on the National Register of Historic Places, which would offer justification for its preservation here. Pastor Theo (talk) 22:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
