[edit] Deletion debate

This article has been kept following this VFD debate. There was a clear majority to delete the article, but not quite a "consensus". Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:07, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Apparently the deletion debate continues. I say no to deletion. This church may not be historic by English or Massachusetts standards, but I believe it is by Australian standards. Adelaide was settled in 1836. I understand this because I grew up in Massachusetts where buildings date from the 1600s, but I now live in an area of southern Florida which was not settled until the late 1800s. clariosophic 19:28, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
