The result was no consensus. While I personally think this should be deleted, and voted to do so. I think that there is enough here to go ahead an close this as No Consensus to Delete. If anything, the trend is to keep the article based upon the rising interest in the article. I see no reason to keep this article in AfD when the outcome appears so obvious to me. Another week will only result in "No Consensus" or "Keep" I don't see delete being a viable option as the church garners more speculative coverage. I do advise keeping a close eye on WP:Coatrack as this should not be an article about Palin. Unlike Wright, Palin left the church when she decided it was too extreme. Similarly, I do not believe this church would be notable at all if it wasn't for the fact of people trying to create a controversy similar to the Wright-Obama one. The similarities just aren't there. This is, at it's core, IMHO a non-notable church. There are other churches of similar size with equally questionable ethics that have garnered local attention (as has this one). In Denver there is a Pentacostal Church that has more independent notability than Palin's former church. But with the intention of making the church an issue, it has an artificial sense of notability. After the election, regardless of who wins, I think this AfD should be revisited, but at this time, I don't see it being deleted due to partisan politics. I know it shouldn't play a factor, but let's face it. The church is the flavor of the day. In a few months, I hope people realize that the hype around it today is merely wp:notnews. There is no need to relist. Keeping this AfD open is not going to do wikipedia any good, until the election is over, the church will be an issue..---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 04:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
