Doesn't meet WP:GNG: There is a single apparently reliable source offering significant coverage, and thorough WP:BEFORE uncovers no more. — swpb T 19:28, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep (article creator): I'm not so sure your assessment is accurate. This church (which, BTW, has had a couple different names) is over 100 years old, and surely there has been coverage about the congregation's history, the building's architecture, and the programs and activities hosted throughout its history. In a scramble to try to save this article, I've posted some additional sources on the article and on its talk page. There is definitely some expanding that can be done already, and I've not jumped into the Oregonian archives yet. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:47, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 * For some reason, I'm having difficulty logging into the Oregonian archives through the library's portal, but I'll try to do so again later to see if there are more articles available there. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:54, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Obviously, I can't go through all of these right now, but I think deleting this article without completing a thorough source review would be irresponsible. I strongly recommend keeping this article; surely there are some helpful sources in this database for expanding this article longterm. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:31, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

"More than 1,100 gather to protest land-use ruling" (claims to be the largest interfaith gathering in Portland, ever). And 2000 article in Catholic Sentinel "Sunnyside, neighbors work to resolve misunderstandings". -- do ncr  am  22:34, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
