Notability[edit]

I've put the notability tag back on this page. Generally churches are not considered notable unless they are particularly large or have a particularly rich history. The only way that notability can be proven is through multiple non-trivial coverage in the media (WP:RS). As the only source right now is the church's own web site, the notability tag should stay on until additional sources are provided. —BradV 19:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So really this holds true to almost all of the other entries for churches, isn't that correct? For example how is this church notable? Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. There are a handful of other church's that would as qualify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metro3947 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is either. I've tagged it. —BradV 20:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to a good example of a church entry? I'm having trouble finding one on my own. —Metro3947 20:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Towson United Methodist Church is listed as a good article. —BradV 20:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for showing me this. This really helps me out. I'll get working on it tomorrow.—Metro3947 09:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there are numerous stories in the Elmhurst Press, if you can get into back issues. MisfitToys (talk) 00:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea MisfitToys. To bad they don't have archives online. This is going to take some time with going to the library and using hard copies.—Metro3947 09:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even though this article is longer now, there are still no third-party reliable sources, making all of the information unverifiable. BradV 20:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have found some documentation for the history areas. However much of it was published in church newsletters and directories. Can this be used as a citation? Metro3947 09:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
