The result of the debate was no consensus reached: default to "keep" . Joyous 04:34, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
I find the second anon's contribution most dubious; how can they be certain that God does not exist? Have they ever not met them? Anyway, unless I'm mistaken, this is really bad spam, so delete it. Alphax (talk) 14:31, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
- If this specific church was founded in 1731 there might be some notability, though the article certainly doesn't establish it. If it's just the american reformed church then this church is just another one among many. Delete unless/until things get clarified. --fvw* 16:05, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

- Leaning toward keep, but please: someone rewrite to demonstrate notability. I'm almost certain that this church is notable, but the article only hints at it (There aren't many NY-area institutions with continuity back to the Dutch. How did a Dutch Reformed Church end up with strong Asian connections? There's got to be an article worth having here...) -- Jmabel | Talk 06:12, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep this important part of its community.Dr Zen 01:22, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Yet another notable, encyclopedic public institution.--Centauri 04:14, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep It's said to go back to 1731. How can an institution that has lasted for 274 years not be notable? Philip 02:55, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep although I agree with JMabel: it must be rewritten to establish more factual information Peter Shearan 13:59, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
