Keep as church is historically and culturally significant to Rockingham County. The congregation was founded in 1841 and the building was built in the 1850s, including segregated seats for slaves and landowners. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:29, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not listed at this North Carolina government site. Two First Baptist Churches are listed at National Register of Historic Places listings in Rockingham County, North Carolina but not in Madison or at this address. Supporting references should be added to establish notability of articles like this. —DIYeditor (talk) 16:42, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is by no means true that if a building is historic, it will necessarily be "listed."E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep material such as News & Observer: Madison church celebrates 170 years from which page can be improved exists. WP:TROUT Nom for lazy series of nominations of old churches without proper WP:BEFORE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Lazy? If you click the search links above, neither news or newspapers (or books or etc.) turn up anything. You have found one source, after presumably more effort than is required by BEFORE. Multiple reliable secondary sources with significant coverage are required. This church actually turns up very little in searches - next to nothing. —DIYeditor (talk) 19:27, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The News & Record article Madison church celebrates 170 years article is a WP:RS, and the point is that it includes material from which article can be improved, and keywords that will enable keyword searches to find additional sources. Like most of our pages, this article about an old and notable church needs a willing editor to improve it. note that the 19th century church was razed and replaced in the 1950s, but that while the present church is not architecturally interesting, material on the old building exists.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:24, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as has coverage in reliable sources as shown above passes WP:NBUILD Atlantic306 (talk) 17:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
