Synod of Saint Timothy

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I found nothing on this group. The 2009 Melton's encyclopedia of American religions has nothing on this group. Both websites given in the article are dead. The other website given in the last working archive of the website of this group (2009) has one archive from 2013. None of the two website give us any clue to try to find any shred of notability for this group. The article has been created in 2006, and since then no one has added any single source which could be used to argue the notability of this group. All I have been able to find on this group is this page of a non-notable denomination, which states: "Father Robert Lyons [...] has also served as the Chair of the Worship Commission for the Christian Church - Synod of Saint Timothy (and it's predecessor, the Society of Saint Timothy)." Therefore, as per WP:NCHURCH, I think this article should be deleted.

 * Delete. At best, this appears to have been an extremely small denomination, with insufficient coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. This article has no references, and of the two external links, one is broken and the other goes to a web-hosting service for churches with no mention of this denomination. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment -- We do normally allow articles on denominations, even very small ones, but the article gives me no confidence that it has more than half a dozen congregations. The alleged synodical website is a dead link and the one about inter-communion with another splinter denomination leads to a page about building church websites, though possibly this site is relevant, being a book review of their liturgy.  My initial view is that this is too small to be notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:46, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
