[edit] Elim Christian Centre

Churches are not notable. Denni ☯ 17:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I've found Elim Christian Centres in Wells, Cheltenham, Northampton and Chelmsford - and that's just the first page of Google results. As far as I can tell they are not linked. Delete as not notable. DJ Clayworth 17:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • keep but rewrite. Churches are in my mind just as notable as high schools, and despite repeated requests, nobody has bothered to tell me why that isnt or shouldnt be the case. Jcuk 20:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Delete Most churches do not deserve articles for the same reason most schools do not deserve articles: Wikipedia is not a primary source. I have no issue with articles on schools (or churches) where multiple people, independent of one another, have produced books or documentaries about the institute. That is not true of this or most churches. Denni ☯ 17:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not sufficiently distinctive to merit an entry here. Wikipedia isn't the Yellow Pages. Dr Zak 21:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Noteworthiness aside, the entry is a copyvio from [1]. The "we" gives is away. It always does. Dr Zak 11:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with Jcuk on the issue of the notability of religious centers, but this article contains so little encyclopedic content. Rewrite or Delete. --Eivindt@c 23:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. As far as I know, religious congregations are considerably more numerous than high schools. (I didn't support the idea that all high schools are notable anyway, although that seems to have taken hold on AfD.) --Metropolitan90 00:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not sufficiently notable. Zaxem 00:54, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not because of notability issues (which I reject) but because it seems to at least violate the reason behind WP:AUTO (notice the writing in the first person in the article). DanielZimmerman 03:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete but allow rewrite - If schools are notable, so should churches be provided it is not miniscule. However the title should include the location of the church. Elim is a denomination with many churches, many of which use 'Elim' as part of their title. The present article appears however more like an advert for the church.
