No particular assertion of notability in article. PROD shortly after creation was disputed by creator. Checking Google briefly shows lots of trivial mentions, but nothing obvious in depth. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:23, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep. Subject had been discussed many times. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catholicism/Archive 2011#Parishes and churches notability.--WlaKom (talk) 21:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. I think all parishes are notable, per the discussion above. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:31, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - comprehensively fails WP:GNG. The discussion, linked above seems to be the sole province of one editor. I see no guideline that indicates that parishes are inherently notable. TerriersFan (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Merge/Redirect to Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland. I could accept that all dioceses are notable, but parishes? Gimme a break! As noted by TerriersFan, the opinion that all parishes are notable seems to be just that - an opinion, argued by WlaKom and pretty much nobody else, and based on no recognizable Wikipedia criteria. --MelanieN (talk) 02:15, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. A building and a few people. Szzuk (talk) 12:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
