St. Stephen Lutheran Church (Urbandale, Iowa)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is about a church that does not make any claim for notability. A search finds many churches known as St. Stephen Lutheran Church, but I can find no significant coverage about this one. Whpq (talk) 02:39, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment -- If this had been a typically brief article on a church, I would have suggested merging it with Urbandale, Iowa. However The article is too substantial for that.  My preference is thus for Keep, but if others think it should be removed, I would suggest that it be userified to its main author, so that he can made some other use of this substantial church history, for example by placing it on the church website.

 * At issue is notability and not the length of the article. I agree that this material would be perfectly suitable for the Church's web site.  However, Wikipedia is not the church's website, and there is no evidence of notability based on any searches or the current content in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
