[edit] Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple

Previously {{prod}}ed with note No assertion of importance or notability for this particular building. Volume of size does not make for notability unless it is superlative. No indication of whether architect is someone special or if there has been an impact on the design of other buildings. Fluit 07:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The article is a poorly written personal essay, not an encyclopedic entry, and needs to be completely revised. However, its subject matter is not a valid reason for deletion. The building is something of a site of local interest, and is completely appropriate for inclusion.Donaldal 07:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as original research without prejudice against future creation of an encyclopaedic article on this subject if it is indeed notable. Just zis Guy you know? 15:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep now. Since it was going to be kept on the basis of the encyclopaedic notability of the subject, I have removed the excessively florid language and reduced it to a stub. The word "ecstatic" is rarely appropriate in an encyclopaedia article... Just zis Guy you know? 11:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It needs a good rewrite to fix the style of the article, but the building is notable and is worth keeping. Sue Anne 22:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Mormon temples are not just Mormons' normal houses of worship (churches), they are more significant, like Catholic cathedrals, and, therefore, are notable. The article could certainly stand a rewrite. If nothing else, this should be reduced to a stub and kept in that form. ergot 00:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, per ergot. TheMadBaron 10:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ergot. The Mormon temples are comparable to cathedrals, and we have a whole category of them: Category:Latter Day Saint temples.--Pharos 06:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
