The subject does not meet WP:NCHURCH, and its lack of notability has been pointed out since 2016; I have found nothing on this denomination. The article has no reliable secondary source to support its notability.
I recommend deletion. Veverve (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication of notability, this appears to be a small group of people. They don't seem to have a physical building that would be considered a "church". PK T(alk) 13:02, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Covered in the Encyclopedia of American Religions. St Anselm (talk) 19:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@StAnselm: Which version? It only has two WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS in the 2009 version I checked (p. 111 article 'Christ Catholic Church', and p. 128 article 'Old Catholic Church of North America'). Veverve (talk) 19:26, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The 1996 version. "Ontario+Old+Catholic"&dq="Ontario+Old+Catholic"&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiY9JSyrJv1AhW2CTQIHeV1COwQ6AF6BAgHEAI In fact, it's reproduced on the church website. St Anselm (talk) 19:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@StAnselm: All the mentions of the Ontario Old Roman Catholic Church in the link you provided are WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS; and from what I get with a Google books search in the 1996 edition, all mentions of this denomination there seem to be WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS.

Delete The two external websites refer to one parish and the other is a dead link - to a potential website host. As far as I can see, this is denomination consists of a single congregation, being a splinter from the wider Old Catholic church. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
