Non-notable church, no claims of notability. My db-org tag was removed. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - While I don't have time right now to research this, this church looks historic, perhaps established in the Portuguese era (1517-1693), and seems particularly noteworthy for being a Catholic church in an overwhelmingly Buddhist and Hindu nation. --Oakshade (talk) 17:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Colombo, nothing in the article or even the church website to indicate this is notable enough to have a stand-alone article. – Zedla (talk) 23:56, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge per Zedla'''.  Dloh  cierekim  02:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, or as a second choice redirect per Zedla. I don't see any evidence that this parish was established in the Portuguese era, or at least there is no such claim on the parish's web site. Nor does the existence of a Catholic church in a mostly Buddhist country establish notability; there are 141 Catholic churches in Sri Lanka. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:04, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
