[edit] First Presbyterian Church (Edmonton)

First Presbyterian Church (Edmonton) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Prod removed becase the church is 125 years old; but a real notability proof was not given; therefore the procedural AfD, I vote weak delete.Ioannes Pragensis 19:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC) Two sources added, I take back the nomination. KEEP.--Ioannes Pragensis 08:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete No claim to notability is made outside of the age, which is probably common in many towns around the world with long-established communities. It's not a notable figure by itself. 206.213.209.31 19:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • DeleteWeak keep While there are now independent sources, I do question if the church is notable or not. However, it is now verifiable, so I think it's worthy of keeping for now. --Адам Райли Talk 07:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. -- Bpmullins | Talk 21:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per notability. Being old does not make something notable. Compare with my hometown church: Mt. Sinai Congregational Church. From the Mount Sinai, New York article: "In 1789, nine worshipers established the Congregational Church using the old church building as a place to worship. In 1807 a new building was erected and continues to be used as the Mt. Sinai Congregational Church." That's a really old church, but otherwise completely unremarkable, and earns no mention outside of the main article about the town. Charlie 22:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable per 2 refs added. Edison 01:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Now improved to show notability. The best outcome of an AFD is an improved article. GRBerry 04:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
