- Keep. Many sources exist, and they reflect that this is a large, historic, and important congregation, led by a series of influential rabbis who have played a substantial role in political and social issues in Texas. I have added some content and sources to the article. - Arxiloxos ( talk) 00:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep; significant coverage exists; more than enough to satisfy GNG. Arxiloxo's additions suffice, but a longer article could be written. Kuru (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

- Snow Keep. Meets GNG. Per the above.
- I note this nom is also attempting to delete a number of other synagogue articles, which also appear to have the requisite coverage. See the 5-top-listed articles nominated by him, today,

- Hi
Epeefleche - Until
Arxiloxos added additional citations to several of the articles, all 5 had no more than a single external reference (including this article, or in one case, two brief mentions), which clearly does not meet
WP:GNG or
WP:NORG. Not sure what you're insinuating by your above comment, but it clearly does not adhere to
WP:AGF. This came about as a result of another editor who had an article which could only reference the synagogue's own webpage (it had several other references, but none which spoke to the synagogue itself), who has been declined several times by different editors at AfC. To defend his article's lack of references, he mentioned 6 other synagogues, which I took a look at. Due to the dearth of references on 5 of those articles, since they clearly did not meet
WP:GNG, I nominated them for deletion. I didn't nominate the 6th (
Beth Sholom Congregation (Frederick, Maryland)), since that clearly did meet GNG.

- By your comment, I assume that in your deciding whether to assert that an article fails to meet GNG, you only looked at the refs in the article itself? And did not independently google for refs that were not in the article, but that did in fact satisfy GNG? Is my understanding correct? Epeefleche ( talk) 02:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
