[edit] The Significance of Christianity Explored

I notice the this page has previously been deleted as insignificant Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Christianity_Explored.

However, I think this course clearly is important. It is used by lots of churches, in several countries. As an indicator of the extent of the course's importance, note that a Google search for "Christianity Explored course" (exact phrase) finds over 900 sites mentioning the course. -- BenStevenson 14:10, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Having had a look at the VfD archive, it seems that many people voted saying the article was "spam", an "advertisement", "a promo". I certainly didn't write this in order to promote Christianity Explored (I've heard of it before, but I have no involvement with it, nor have I attended a course); I hope it doesn't sound like an advert, either. I do think CE notable enough to merit an entry, and it appears that at least two people before me have independently started an entry (yourself and OneSalientOversight). If we're to delete it again, we should probably first hold a VfD based on notability, rather than the premise that this is an advert or prosletysing spam. It's featured in BBC news[1]. I don't know for sure, but having perused the top 100 hits, I would suspect that a large majority of the 50,000+ hits for "Christianity Explored" on Google would be about the course. — Matt Crypto 14:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The course pops up in a couple of third-party sources: [2]. — Matt Crypto 19:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
