Thanks for creating River Lin.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

It's good enough to keep, but this article really needs sentence-by-sentence sourcing. I've added relevant categories and tags on the talk page, and linked to a pre-existing Wikimedia Commons category.

St Peter, St Paul and St Elizabeth Catholic Church, Coughton moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, St Peter, St Paul and St Elizabeth Catholic Church, Coughton, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Jalen D.

I see that draft of this article was accepted, but I really cannot see that the building passes WP:GNG; so far as I am aware, there is no ruling that all churches are notable. I', sorry & do not wish to discourage one of the rare editrs who are not adding articles about kick-the-ball players or Norwegian death metal albums.TheLongTone (talk) 16:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
OK, I've read your comment on the AfD page, and would like to make three points. Firstly, imo the only claims to significance are those regarding its architecture. Being a local landmark leaves all mustard uncut; where I like the incinerator stack of a hospital is a prominent local landmark and I don't thing anybody in possession of their marbles would say it was truly notable. Secondly, and more important generally, it as generally a good idea to include plausible claims of notability before you publish the article. Thirdly, if your claims of architectural significance are to be convincing, they really need to be backed up by independant sources.TheLongTone (talk) 12:13, 11 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your response. I do see some issues with your claims however. Just because a landmark besrs little significance on a national level does bo mean it can't be noteworthy. Using examples of TV masts, each one appears to have a page dedicated to it despite bearing vedy little national importance so to claim that the building is less noteworthy purely because it is only a local landmark does not stand up to scrutiny, as surely if applied to a all wikipedia pages would see several pages removed. Secondly, it would be a reasonable idea to publish claims of importance when the article is first published. It did not occur to me to do so at the time. Finally, the sources which cite the architectural significance are independent. Taking Stock in no way is a local initiative, but is instead a national intitiative. And finally, you say that you do not wish to discourage wikipedia contributors who post more than just footballers etc. If this is really the case I suggest you take a less elitist attitude.

This will be my final post on wikipedia. I am sorry that I am not 'professional' enough for wikipedia, publishing only 'trivial' articles. I was foolish to think that I could in some way vary what has becone a monotonous and very banal project. I will leave it to people such as yourself, who is obviously a professional. My only advice is that you leave your mother's basement to get some fresh air now and then. SJM2106 (talk) 00:18, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

With all due respect, I think you are throwing your toys out of the pram. I applaud the efforts of any editor who adds articles or content which is not about football players or obscure pop music recordings; howere there are guidelines regarding notability and after thought I did not think that your subject satisfied them.
Incidentally, I think that {{St Peter and St Paul and St Elizabeth Catholic Church, Coughton]] is an excellent article.TheLongTone (talk) 14:20, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
