I consider this pretty notable simply due to the size. If it were a church on its own, it would be considered a megachurch. Akubhai 12:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

That may be true in the canonical sense of notability, but in the Wikipedia sense of notability, the article must also demonstrate that through attribution with reliable sources. This article currently fails to do so; note that the link to the organization's website, while appropriate, does not in itself demonstrate that. The article needs reputable secondary sources, i.e., in the notabiilty link, it says "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject." (emphasis mine). Baccyak4H (Yak!) 13:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
You're correct, it needs to be documented, but reasonable disagreement (which is provided above) is enough reason to remove a prod tag. Per WP:PROD, "If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back, except if the removal was clearly not an objection to deletion (such as blanking the entire article, or removing the tag along with inserting blatant nonsense); however, if the edit is not obviously vandalism, do not restore it, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith." 66.69.81.64 04:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I've added a "Unrefererenced" tag instead. I would expect something like this group would have some mention in notable sources, esp around Atlanta. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 13:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I did a google search and found references to it in a few places (kind of hard because different people use different forms for the name). Most are articles or pages about Louie Giglio that mention that he started 7:22 and a brief statement about it. I'm still looking for 3rd party info written about the actual study.Akubhai 12:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
