Faizan-e-Madina Mosque, Peterborough

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I see no notability. the mosques holds only 1000 people and cost only a couple of mill to build. the only "notable" thing, "may" be the dome is "one of the largest" in UK. But seeing that Uk does not have that many large mosques, even that is non-notable. I am not sure if there is a separate notability criteria for mosques so I went with the building GNG on this, and as far as I can see, clearly deletable.

The size of the building, the cost of building and the number of people it can hold is no way to assess the notability of a religious building. If the UK has few large mosques, then it seems to follow that there is a good chance any of them are going to be notable - if there is more than a minimum of mentions in secondary sources. And it doesn't take a lot of effort to find a lot of secondary mentions of it (which is hardly surprising, given it is a major religious building). Obvious keep.

Delele: The mosque maybe be big, but that does not make it notable. It isn't! George Custer's Sabre (talk) 15:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Random claims of being big and expensive doesn't help a building to even pass the WP:GNG, as far as I understand. The UK has many mosques, and I'm sure the parishioners of most houses of worship will claim theirs is big and expensive and awesome. The encyclopedia, however, doesn't function based off of that.
