Non-notable church which seems pretty local. WP:CHURCH is not an actual notability guideline, marked as historical/no consensus attained, which points us back to WP:GNG. Nothing significant about this church, and it lacks notable reliable source coverage as evidenced by web and GNews archive searches. JamieS93 21:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out, folks: I forgot Google Books, one of the most obvious search engines. It's been a while since I've done this AFD/notability stuff. Withdrawing and closing. JamieS93 03:04, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Joe Chill. "Oldest Baptist church in Kentucky" does it for me.[1][2][3]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Arxiloxos (talk • contribs) (oops! my apologies for forgetting to sign--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]
• Keep - blame Joe Chill. Crafty (talk) 00:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as it turns out the church was historically important, which is what the references show. Given that the gbooks search was right there in the line under the article title above, I really wonder about the people who said "cant find reliable sources". The nom may not have searched, because those links don't appear until the AfD is actually added, but the people who commented delete apparently never even tried to look, though they said that they did.

• Thank you for the reproach D. We now consider ourselves well and truly told. Crafty (talk) 01:10, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
