[edit] Mountainview Christian Reformed Church
Totally nonnotable church, with no claim other than being the largest church in the area and the largest CRC congregation in Canada. I'd speedy delete this myself, but these seem like tiny claims of notability. Nyttend 05:42, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

- Weak delete unless this is rapidly expanded and shows notability. I say this with regret, as I suspect that the WP community is too ready to delete churches, some of which may be locally notable. It needs a statement about its size, and some internet accessible citation, even if this is only the church's own website. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Weak Keep as it claims to be the largest church in its denomination. Needs better cites. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 00:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Just being the largest church in the denomination isn't enough; that can change easily. In my denomination, the largest church recently became smaller by sponsoring a new church to which many of its members went, and thus another church is larger now. Plus, we could consider the Reformed Presbytery in North America, with only six churches and apparently only three elders: would its largest congregation still be notable, even though it is likely very small?

- Delete. Lacks reliable sources. Also what is the article about? The building, the largest in town, or the chuch as it practices religion? Seems like it is mixing both and neither appears notable. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
