Temple Israel (Kinston, North Carolina)

Article was deproded, yet the issue was not addressed. I still have been unable to locate any reliable sources to establish notability of this organization. Apparently based upon this diff others have also had a tough time locating any reliable sources. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I admit I was careless in the note I left when I deprodded, and I apologize for it. . It's very rare there are not some kind of sources for local institutions, though not necessarily sources for notability. In fact, right after I left my note, Arxiloxos  did find a good 3rd party reference & added it to  the article. It was listed for AfD nevertheless.  We accept the coverage in specialized encyclopedias as showing notability . I'll try to look for another to confirm it.   DGG ( talk ) 03:29, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable local religious congregation, fails WP:ORG. Edison (talk) 19:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was the editor who restored the prod, but my concern was more that this was a hoax; recently a couple of other hoax synagogue articles have been discovered and deleted. This institution is over 100 years old, and is described at length in reliable secondary sources, which have now been found. Jayjg (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Age and duration of the congregation are a strong claim of notability, and source from Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities provides appropriate support. Alansohn (talk) 00:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable local religious congregation, fails WP:ORG. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:32, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * NOTE: Additional sources have been added. IZAK (talk) 06:16, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep because this is an important congregation that has existed since 1903 and spans the history of the Jews in Kinston, North Carolina. Relatively smaller communities may not be "glamorous" but they are important parts of the history of those areas, in this case North Carolina. More WP:RS have been added and the article has been improved. IZAK (talk) 06:16, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as more sources have been added, I would have to say that this is most definitely a keep. A synagogue that old, with sources is surely something Wiki can include. Yossiea (talk) 00:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
