This already was ruled keep before, but the logic was faulty. Having a certain amount of members does not guarantee notability. This church is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL and lacks the adequate sourcing to be considered notable. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't see much beyond facebook listings and the like for the congregation. One interview showing them preparing a Thanksgiving meal... Unsure if the structure/building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which would allow it an article. Oaktree b (talk) 20:17, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b: Sammi Brie says that it's not a historical place. With this in mind, maybe you can make an informed vote if you wish. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 02:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Survived previous AFD, ineligible for soft deletion.

Delete per nom. No churches are on the NRHP in Angelina County (National Register of Historic Places listings in Angelina County, Texas). For that matter, since 1989, no properties have even been added to the NRHP in the county. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:05, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per discussion above and note from Sammi Brie confirming no churches registered on the NRHP in that area. Oaktree b (talk) 03:41, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Most local churches are NN. There needs something to be special about a church for it to be WP-notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
