[edit] Good News Bible Chapel

Spam, advert, probable copyvio for nn church Delete --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Thanks to our friends at GDFL and GNU it's not a copyvio but it can also be found here, at "BrethrenPedia". If you want a hoot, this one's for you... In any case, this is AdSpam. Deizio 01:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• I believe the Wikipedia jigsaw-globe logo is copyrighted. BrethrenPedia don't seem to care... Deizio 01:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nn church. --Terence Ong 02:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Del as nn. mikka (t) 03:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Greetings all. I submitted the page in question. Obviously I'm a newbie - not a hard core Wiki person. I guess I am clueless about the rules here. They seem to be pretty clear to all of you. Not quite so clear to me. Yes, the article is self-serving. And informative. Is that the problem? Help me outhere. Feel free to edit. Or tell me what the specific problem is. I don't understand your shorthand notes. S DuPlessie E: steve@gnbc.org

• Delete nn ('not notable'). (Nothing personal, Steve. Wikipedia has developed a set of guidelines about what is worthy of a wikipedia article and what is not. The most important one is 'notability'--otherwise someone will catalogue every blade of grass on their front lawn. In the judgement of the people above, you church is not notable enough to have an article. They also reject it because its purpose seems to advertise rather than to inform.)

• Comment I will post an explanation on the creator's talk page that is slightly more detailed than the one lef tby User:Bucketsofg above. Draeco 04:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete advert for generic church. Just zis Guy you know? 10:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Advertisement not encyclopedic. May be a composite part of another wiki article but not it's own entry at this time. VirtualSteve 11:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Religious advertising. ProhibitOnions 19:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. But edit it to get rid of the proselytizing. If this church has been around since 1935, I think it has enough stability as an institution to warrant inclusion.Carlo 23:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails Wikipedia:Notability. —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong DeleteNon- Notable, Proselityzing Religion, which is Bltant NPOV.

I apologize if I have inadvertently offended anyone with this submission. I have edited the page that I orginally submitted to remove the self-serving and "advertising" text. I have added some links to existing Wiki pages. I understand if this page does not merit inclusion due to "not notable." If that is the case, so be it. Sduplessie 02:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete nn church; not every parish, synagogue, church, temple, mosque, etc. merits a page – regardless of what form of religion being served up. Carlossuarez46 20:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
