No point in having this article when we have Mary Magdalene. Also, little relevant content and no references. CTAГЛИT (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Apparently this is a church in the tiny village of Mijdel in Koura district (neither Majdel nor Mijdel appear in Google Earth, but Mjaide does, so possibly these are the same). No evidence of notability whatsoever.- Mr X 01:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - I wouldn't think an ordinary parish church is notable unless there's something particularly significant about it that has received independent coverage/discussion (just spitballing, but such significant points might include things like being linked to an important relic, miracle or saint, or having an important historical role). The article suggests that it's one of only two Middle Eastern churches named for Mary Magdalene but I can't find anything that confirms or remarks on that, and I don't think that would make it notable anyway. I'd note that a lot of this content is duplicated in Majdel Al Koura, a page for the village, which I think might be redirectable to Mijdel.--Nasica (talk) 04:04, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Majdel Al Koura. Seems like it is significant, including that it has a claim of notability about being the only church named for Mary Magdelene in some area. But because sources are lacking and the English in the article (and Majdel Al Koura) are poor, i suggest merger as a compromise, and per wp:PRESERVE. If/when more documentation becomes available, redirect could be converted back to a separate article without losing credit to contributors. In the nomination, what does "No point in having this article when we have Mary Magdalene" mean? Is the complaint that Wikipedia has an article on Mary Magdelene? Or does the nominator mean to refer to some specific church? --do ncr am 01:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* Sorry for the misunderstanding, when I first read the article I was under the impression that the article was about a specific part of Mary Magdalene's story, because I couldn't understand the language. Still, I think the church is still insignificant and the article should be deleted. Staglit 15:19, 25 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Staglit (talk • contribs)
