An ordinary nineteenth century parish church, with no evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The only references given are a Google map showing where the church is, and a page telling us that the church has been restored and encouraging us to visit it. This does not constitute the kind of substantial coverage required by Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - In an earlier form it had much copvio content which was removed, but nothing of that appeared to be capable of being salvaged as no independent support could be found. In its current form it is a very short stub with no evidence of any notability. The only good source that I could locate was here but I don't believe that this source, on its own, is sufficient to support notability ("multiple reliable sources") and it was also the source of the copyvio text.

- Too bad, really. A 210-year-old church, that's more than the whole church history of some countries.
- The National Museum source mentioned above states that this is "one of the most significant relics of the time when Serampore was under Danish management", so it does seem to have some historic significance.
- The fact that a good source has previously been misused for copyvio does not mean we can't use it as a source now, does it? --84.190.88.113 (talk) 15:00, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
