Strong Keep I volunteered to rewrite this article after a previous version by another editor was deleted as G11. Clearly, the self-promotional issues that doomed the earlier article were removed here. What remains now is a decent little stub. The article passes
WP:RS without problem, and the Knight-Ridder news article cites it as being prominent within the
emerging church movement. Its notability for its off-beat setting and services are also clearly cited in the media coverage.

Keep - Sufficiently passes
WP:N. Unlike the nom's stipulation, the Knight Ridder Newspapers article goes far beyond "it exists." Curiously, this is the nom's only argument to delete this article. --

Kudos on the response, Eco :P. T85:While we shouldn't add "every" church, if you look at
WP:CHURCH itself most churches are notable. In keeping with the fact that AfD is a discussion rather than a vote, maybe you could cite some policy? A
Slippery slope argument hardly helps.

Thanks, MQS. The Bradenton Herald coverage is also part of the Knight-Ridder news syndicate, which means this article received national news coverage in the U.S. For those who did not read it, the article is about the emerging church movement and The Well was the first church cited in the article -- not exactly non-notable.
