Alleged to be a db-corp article, but there is history here and the article has some references (albeit iffy in quality). Listing for community input. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:46, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Other than a couple of news stories and the 5 year old SPLC listing, there is nothing notable about this defunct organization. – S. Rich (talk) 17:37, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep GNG is met, NTEMP, etc., although it certainly could use updating. Jclemens (talk) 05:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article cites eight secondary sources. Additional available sources include one book, two magazine articles, and several newspaper articles. The article has been viewed by about nine readers per day for the last year.- Mr X 12:19, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: There are 11 reference links provided: 1 is dead, 4 are SoT, 1 is SPLC, 1 is UPI, 3 are local news articles, 1 is gay advocacy which appears to rely on the SPLC. Total: 6 secondary sources. – S. Rich (talk) 00:53, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GNG. Not a run-of-the-mill church. St Anselm (talk) 00:11, 13 April 2017 (UTC) Delete. The more I look at it, the more I see a WP:COATRACK article here. The "Sons of Thundr" are not a church, but an organization based at a church. It was the organisation that was listed by SPLC (though that in itself doesn't make it notable). So we have a church, a pastor, and an organisation - all of whose notability is borderline. I don't think we can put them all together and say that they add up to being notable.

Delete -- It appears to be a NN local church, which has become the subject of an ATTACK ARTICLE. If kept, it should be renamed Faith Baptist Church, Primrose. I do not believe the spelling currently used in the name, which is properly a reference to two of Jesus' apostles. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:44, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not sufficient media coverage to warrant an entire article. Even the founder isn't notable enough to be on Wikipedia. This entire article could be a one sentence line in another article, maybe in Christian fundamentalism#In North America. "The Faith Baptist Church of Georgia is an example of a fundamentalist organization that espouses hate speech."Timtempleton (talk) 00:02, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
