Syriac Church of Mosul[edit]

I can't find any evidence that this church passes WP:GNG. It's been unreferenced for years, and a quick Google search didn't bring up any churches by this particular name, so I don't know if it even exists. clpo13_(talk) 17:03, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator I did wonder if this article actually referred to a church that ISIS took over (though I thought it might be St. Ephraim), but I wasn't sure given the article's history and vague title. Now that it's been improved and sources can be found for the proper name, I'm satisfied that it's notable. clpo13_(talk) 17:36, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, there is plenty material on the church "Sharaf is the Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Mosul, but he's not in Mosul. As Easter approaches, he's leading a service at a newly built church on the outskirts of Erbil, 50 miles away. That's because its St. Thomas Cathedral - dating back to the third century in the old city of Mosul - was damaged and desecrated by ISIS." [1] --Soman (talk) 20:27, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to a more appropriate title, such as "Church of St. Thomas, Mosul", or "Mar Toma Church, Mosul", or whichever that may be the most appropriate. There are numerous sources for these [2] [3]. Hzh (talk) 00:29, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to "Church of Saint Thomas, Mosul". I've added as much content as I could find in the meantime. Mugsalot (talk) 12:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
