Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/First Baptist Church of Wheaton
nbsp; Anyone who knows anything about Midwest U.S. churches knows that a church with 600 in weekly attendance is a substantial institution, even in a much larger community, and one that we want to cover somehow on Wikipedia.&nbsp; This is before consideration of the age of this congregation, which goes back close to the beginning of Western civilization in the area&mdash;Wheaton was incorporated in 1859, and this church founded in 1864.&nbsp; This means that we can expect to find pre-internet  (part of ) sourcing.&nbsp; As an independent church without an affiliation, it attracts a small amount of interest as a one-church denomination.&nbsp; Editorial control should be returned to those who want to develop the article.&nbsp; Given the current state of the article, I'd suggest that those editors move the article to Religious institutions of Wheaton, IL, which according to Wheaton, IL is a notable list.&nbsp
