Former Exarchate of Alexandria[edit]
Delete. Unverifiable. All the sources listed are websites run by the group, and a Google search[1] yields no results outside those sites. Its creation by someone connected with it qualifies it as a vanity page. Also suffers notability and POV issues. —A.S. Damick talk contribs 13:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep - move to Exarchate of Alexandria in America or whatever, and turn this into an article on the history of Alexandrinian presence in America (which seems to be undisputed). But minimize the treatment of the present-day remnants, which seem to be extremely marginal - even their own website is mostly busy defending the view that they exist in the first place! If this can't be done, delete. Lukas 14:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I'd be interested in seeing some of this undisputed history, since it's not even mentioned in any of the standard sources on the history of the Orthodox Church in N.A. (e.g. FitzGerald, Stokoe and Kishkovsky, Surrency). A careful look at their website (via their bishop's alleged apostolic succession) indicates that they rather trace their line to the American Orthodox Catholic Church. —A.S.
