Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church (Canberra)[edit]

This says it is the first Coptic Orthodox Church in Canberra, but I don't think that this in itself makes it notable. It is is still just a relatively moden suburban church. Grahame (talk) 10:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the claim is enough to prevent speedy deletion, but it's not enough to prove its notability — and the lack of sources only exacerbates the problem. Nyttend (talk) 12:55, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and tag for notability, per Wikipedia:Notability (Buildings, structures, and landmarks)#Places of worship. VerticalDrop (talk) 20:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - problem is it hasn't received coverage from multiple, independent reliable sources from outside its local area. There do not appear to be sources other than it exists - multiple sources attest to this but no other claim to notability other than who opened ... - hence my suggstion below to merge. --Matilda ^talk 00:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Coptic Orthodox Church in Australia --Matilda ^talk 00:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have merged the text into the article on the Church, I suggest redirection and moving on. Article can then be recreated if more content including sources that attest to notability come to light or an editor provides.--Matilda ^talk 01:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
