Immanuel's Church

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to be a non-notable church. Most news coverage appears to be related to a suicide at the church, which does not count as non-trivial coverage. The 2013 AFD on the page resulted in a keep but the reasoning is not persuasive.TM 16:33, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The previous AFD discussion (thank you for linking to that) focused on this being a megachurch and there being a consensus in practice that megachurches are notable, which seems reasonable to me. This Washington Times article (only partially available online) was linked in the AFD and seems like a very substantial source. Sure, I believe you if a flurry of recent news articles focus on a random-like event, but it is still a megachurch and there appears to have been other substantial coverage about it. --do ncr am 03:48, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a notable mega church. There are earlier Washington Post stories regarding 1) Smardz, Zofia (13 April 2006). "Some Jews See Trespass in Church Seders". The Washington Post. Retrieved 29 January 2013. 2) Sedam, Sean (7 June 2006). "Gay conversion conference criticized". Gazette.net. Retrieved 31 March 2013. User:bschoeni 4:28, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
