[edit] Springwood Adventist Church

Article does not assert notability of group, reads like promotioncruft. Leuko 02:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep but needs a rewrite. kc4 - the Server Monkey Enforcer 03:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable enough. Republitarian 04:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as a non-notable individual church. Reads like an ad. Some of the information here is also copied wholesale from the church's website. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 04:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I could find no mention in the Australian media for this church. No reliable sources for claims in article. Possibly worthy of a mention in the Springwood, Queensland article. Capitalistroadster 08:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 09:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless rewritten, this is blatant advertising. JIP | Talk 09:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Has a precedent for a church in the area, Garden City Christian Church. Needs rewriting though to remove marketing speak. If kept I would propose we move it to Springwood Seventh-day Adventist Church as that is its official name. Ansell 09:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Jesus spam --Xrblsnggt 09:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    • How is that a deletion criteria? Ansell 10:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Please see WP:SPAM for the answer to that. WilyD 13:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I trimmed the page down to a history of the church inline with the other example church congregation pages I could find.
  • Delete very obscure church, void of any encyclopedic value. Vanity article. Wikipedia is not a local directory. --Mecanismo | Talk 10:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable church, reads like an ad, we should introduce a guideline of notability on churches. --Terence Ong (T | C) 11:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Most individual churches are non-notable. --Metropolitan90 13:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable church. --Roisterer 16:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and add mention and link to Springwood, Queensland; which could use some content. JCScaliger 21:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks to be OR to me. If there are any reliable references for the information about the church then they should be provided. --Mako 00:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete -- non-notable church. - Longhair 01:07, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Contains no assertion of notability among churches even before it was trimmed back. Being a mega-church is not sufficient. GRBerry 03:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment megachurches in Australia are generally notable, but this does not appear to meet the criteria. Paul foord 11:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and delete Garden City Christian Church as well. Notability not asserted. wikipediatrix 14:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not a notable church at all. Springwood has a popluation of 10k. The church has 103 charter members. It is a totally local group. No Way in heaven or hell (sorry) this passes WP:ORG, which specifically excludes "Individual chapters of national and international organizations". Ohconfucius 02:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep although there were only 103 charter members, it would now be attended by over 700 people each week. Its notability stems from the fact that it is the largest Adventist church in Brisbane. -Fermion 02:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I voted to keep Garden City Christian Church merely by its megachurch status. I don't think 103 charter members qualifies it as notable. Jaems 03:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
