[edit] Humanist Fellowship of North Texas

Non-notable organization. 18 google hits, quoted sources are from David Wallace Croft's web sites (Croft happens to be the author of the article). Part of "optihumanism" religion walled garden. Contested prod. Weregerbil 11:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

How is this a walled garden? I get 55 google hits. The North Texas Church of Freethought is listed and similar. The Humanist Fellowship of North Texas has been in existence since 2003 and represents something historically novel: a new atheistic religious organization, the first of its kind since 1935.

For notability, please note that this organization is of historical significance in that it is the first "Humanist Church" founded since 1935. It marks a revival in what used to be popular movement in early 20th century. I can see where you might object that a founder is creating the webpage but my main intent is to capture the history and the rationale for this unique organization. It might help people piece together the history in the future and for this reason alone I think it is worth the cost of the disk space to preserve it. Plus, its name was changed recently from "Humanist Church of North Texas". If you search on that term, you get more hits going back to the beginning. David Wallace Croft 2006-05-14

• Comment You seem to have notability confused with significance. To put it in simplest terms, in Wikipedia, notability means, "Have people heard of it?" Fan1967 19:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
