St Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Streetly (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Previously proposed for deletion, then prod removed because "I'd have thought this was a worthwhile if very small contribution to local history, so why decide it is not notable? There is doubtless much more that could be added in the way of dates and also some history of the parish school" by Exumbra. No evidence of notability. Montchav 18:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Am new to this, so I could well be misunderstanding "notability". While the subject of this article would be of use - when better desribed - to those interested in Streetly, the Catholic parish or both, is it the lack of sources and refernces that makes this not notable? It could be put right therefore, but probably not by one with only a passing aquaintance with Streetly as I have. The original author needs to try harder?

Something or someone who is notable will have been written about by magazines, newspapers, feature writers, authors and so on, since they generally write only about things that are notable! Find the articles that have been written about the church and you (or the original author rather) are on the way to demonstrating that it is notable. --Malcolmxl5 23:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Malcolm for a clear and informative comment. But as for Corvuscornix, why not have a comment on every parish church in the world since that would mean Wikipedia IS truly comprehensive, especially if we are trying to be comprehensive enough to include every fictional alien life form (eg the Mysterons)? You will find St Anne's mentioned in the Birmingham Archdiocesan directories (annual publication) and the parish school in local authority and diocesan inspection reports. What are we aiming for here? If someone wishes to use Wikipedia to discover simple and basic facts about an organisation in his or her area (or beyond), what's wrong with a basic entry here?
