Speedy Deletion Rebuttal

I have added enough to the first paragraph to preserve this article as a stub and am adding more. The mission was of substantial importance in charitable works when founded, and was linked to suffragists and suffragettes.

I believe there was already sufficient information present as a stub to assert the importance, and that now there is more than sufficient. I am adding a tag to ask for expert help, and believe that this article has a place here. But please note that it is currently a stub.

Article was moved to prod

I have added sufficient, I believe, to entitle me to remove the "prod" tag and for this article to be retained. I'm grateful for the migration from Speedy Deletion to allow me to achieve this much Fiddle Faddle 07:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation from Charity Choice

I believe that this quotation is directly from the mission itself in its entry in that directory and that this quotation is valid in any event here, especially with the attribution and link directly to the relevant page. If other editors disagree with the presence of the quotation here, rather than marking it as a potential copyvio it would be simpler to remove that paragraph.

West London Mission, or West London Methodist Mission?

It seems that either is valid. However current usage favours "West London Mission", dropping the word "Methodist". Should this page appear under its current or historical title? A redirect is in place to catch both references. Fiddle Faddle 07:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

I've removed the link to the Alan Walker memorial article because it was only vaguely connected at best. Kevin 08:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is very bad

This has clearly been edited by someone within or related to WLM, with the only content being uncited, overly specific, over complimentary and unevidenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DansterTheManster (talkcontribs) 21:26, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's unreasonable to seek more detail, as it's highly unlikely to be based on anything other than Church records. If it really annoys you, there's certain to be extensive citation in some Press Archive somewhere. 94.1.63.86 (talk) 10:44, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fela Sowande

Fela Sowande was an important composer of cross-cultural Anglo-African music in the first half of the 20th Century, and for a long time organist at the WLM. It would be wonderful if more details of his compositions in this period could be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.1.63.86 (talk) 10:48, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
