• Personally I'd like to delete articles like this. However, I have seen a great many comparable articles on Wikipedia. There seems to be a great tolerance to include places of worship without any substantial information. Just a few examples from across demoninations and places: Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, Montreal, First Church of Christ, Scientist (Ottawa), Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Hare Krishna Temple (Toronto), Adath Israel Congregation (Toronto). Are there some criteria for these? I'm going to vote delete, and hope that there is a more general cleanup to follow. --JGGardiner 19:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Wikipedia isn't advertising space. Ardenn 19:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Very true. That last part of the article has been bothering me. I'm going to delete it if nobody minds. --JGGardiner 19:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Most individual religious congregations are not notable, and most of those which I have seen come up on AfD have been deleted. Some of the articles cited by JGGardiner also look worthy of deletion. --Metropolitan90 03:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep While I have not personally prayed at this place, I've visited this synagogue, know members, and know that it is a well established institution that while I do not know if it is notable for anything spectacular or have notable members or past-members,it still can claim to be a legitimate place of worship by the thousands of people over the years. Can somone point me to a previous discussion of what the minimun standards of notablitly are required for places of worship? For instance, membership in the tens or over ten thousand people? W/R to JG 'lack of substantial information' claim, I am not aware of size of article ot age of stub tag to be reasons for deletion. Will try to get more info soon to fill in the blanks. Please keep open for now. --Shuki 19:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
