St. Thomas Episcopal Church (Terrace Park, Ohio)

This is a lovely church, and an important part of the community it is in. However, that does not make it notable to the broader world. The history of the site it is located on is already described in more detail at the article on the village itself. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. I must agree that there seems to be a paucity of online references.  One possibility is the Terrace Park Building Survey. Of possible note, this survey comments that "In 1978 when the Ohio History Inventory was made St. Thomas Church was said to be in excellent interior and exterior condition and eligible to be on the National Register."  --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:32, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Checked, can find no mention that it has been listed by NHRP, which usually does launch a subject into the magic realm of automatic notability. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:41, 8 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I do not see how this passes my standards. Bearian (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Bearian's test seems to be a fair one:  Just because it's an old building, that doesn't make it notable, and there's nothing about its status as a church that does either. — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie  (Je vous invite à me parler ) 09:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment. I was about to close this as delete and I agree the subject isn't notable, but I'm not sure if a redirect to Terrace Park, Ohio wouldn't be a better outcome. It seems like a plausible search term, it's mentioned in that article and its existence is verifiable. Jenks24 (talk) 05:09, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with you if the title were "St. Thomas Episcopal Church," but I'm not sure how many people type in parentheticals when they're searching for things. Why not close this and also add a link to Terrace Park, Ohio to the disambiguation page for St. Thomas Episcopal Church?
 * "St. Thomas" is hardly an uncommon name for a church. If this one is not notable enough for an article I don't see any reason for a redirect or a dab entry. It seems highly unlikely to me that anyone would search for this particular church without already knowing it was in Terrace Park. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:33, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if you're, I don't know, a middle school student in Terrace Park assigned to write a paper on the church, and, not thinking about how common a name it is, you type in "St. Thomas Episcopal Church" and get sent to the disambiguation page, it would be useful to see included there a link to the article on the town, from which you might be able to cull material for your paper - by which I mean, since you're a middle school student, find a paragraph to copy and paste. My point is, yes anyone searching for this particular church would know it's in Terrace Park, no they might not know that the Terrace Park article is the next-best thing to an article on the church itself. — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie  (Je vous invite à me parler ) 05:47, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
