This page should not be speedy deleted because Phipson was a significant local architect whose work is widely covered in works on Suffolk churches... --Johnbod (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think with the addition of the references, I might have self-reverted my speedy nomination had I come back in time to do so. I see no reason, however, to consider http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk to be a reliable source, though the books listed on that site's first page as its reference sources may well be. I'm about to have to log off for the day or I'd try to help chase down some reliable sources. Best wishes and good luck, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 16:22, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You know, you may read this version as making no claim to notability, but you don't have to. (BTW, not having reliable sources is not a valid reason for CSD tagging.) You might consider "diocesan architect" and "a number of churches" as making some claim to notability. At any rate, even if you can justifiably click on CSD-A7 you don't have to do it. The next stop for this article is the front page. Drmies (talk) 17:58, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
