Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yelet Giorgis Church, Bulga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep for now, as some of the deletion arguments have absolutely no rational whatsoever. Please avoid statements such as "non-notable" in an AfD debate because it's not really saying anything. Also, the AfD was created hours after the article creation, and I don't think it did gave the time for editors to cite sources. I am hoping that few weeks should be enough for editors to cite sources, if this article still does not assert notability in that time, then I would recommend another AfD.

  • Delete per nom. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
    Per nom? The nom gave no rationale for deletion. --Oakshade (talk) 16:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. According to the deletion log, this article existed before only as an external link. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why do you say that? You are randomly nominating short religion-centred articles, saying they are "not notable". Charles Matthews (talk) 14:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I found a verification easily under the spelling Giyorgis. I think it is very hasty to assume that good sources for Ethiopia can be found by superficial searches - Romanisation is not standard. Charles Matthews (talk) 18:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless sources can be found to verify the existence. I cleaned up the article but had no luck sourcing it.--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 15:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No source information. Fails WP:V 131.44.121.252 (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
To clarify, there also appear to be no sources on google either. 131.44.121.252 (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: No valid rationale given for deletion. -- Masterzora (talk) 11:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • keep. However ancient, Ethiopian churches tend not to have webpages (so are effectively invisible to google). Despite this, and despite the comments above, google does actually turn up evidence that it exists, although not evidence that is serviceable in sourcing an encyclopedia article. I suggest Niaz go to the reference desk at his or her local library and source the article: that is the first duty of an editor bringing an article for deletion. --Paularblaster (talk) 18:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
