No real indication of notability. A bit spammy. Giving it a chance at AFD instead of speedy because of the OTRS history. TexasAndroid (talk) 23:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Content (written in first person) appears to indicate this is a local congregation without a permanent location. No assertion of notability is made. Google searches such as return no useful results except the group's own web site;, ,  bring back no results at this time. --Rogerb67 (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Additionally, article reads like an advertisement and would need a complete rewrite to be encyclopedic. Also, to prevent misunderstanding, my comment about no permanent location was intended to clarify the topic of the article and not to be a reason for deletion in itself (rereading it I can see its meaning is ambiguous). Clearly a body of believers does not require a permanent building to become notable, and no doubt examples could be cited. --Rogerb67 (talk) 10:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I am sorry to say that a Google search is turning up nothing to support the article's preservation. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Churches can be notable for many reasons, but this one doesn't have any of those reasons. Nyttend (talk) 03:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Move to Syrian Orthodox Church in New Zealand, or something like this, and rewrite so that it covers the religion in New Zealand, rather than simply the church. --Russavia Dialogue 22:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What content from this article would be useful in the suggested new article? Unless there is some, moving this article then completely changing its content is just a complicated way of deleting a non-encyclopedic article and creating a new, different article. Also, it's not clear to me this new article would be notable either. Probably more appropriate to start with would be to rename and expand Syrian Orthodox Church with whatever information can be found in reliable sources. --Rogerb67 (talk) 14:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
