[edit] International Worship in English

International Worship in English (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article tagged for CSD because of notability concerns. I deleted the article per CSD A7, but received a request to undelete the article for a procedural AFD, which I complied with, hence this AFD. I personally will remain neutral on the subject. Keilanatalk(recall) 04:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Wow, It asserts no notability but there are seemingly reliable sources. I honestly don't know about this one. I think I'll go with delete, just because the article itself doesn't assert notability. Just because it's Korean but in English doesn't make it suitable for inclusion. 04:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Change to keep, per Noroton below. It does have sources, and while it doesn't currently assert notability, it could in the future. J-ſtanContribsUser page 04:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep meets WP:N and WP:ORG with mulitple, reliable, independent sources. This is good enough even for a Wikipedia article about even a local chapter of a larger organization. Not much of an article now, but that may change and that's not deletion criteria. Perhaps the nominator could expand on notability objections. Assertion of notability is implicit when multiple sources are used.Noroton (talk) 04:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep with Total Project Complete Basically, Kyung-Chik Han was awarded the 1992 Templeton Prize for founding Young Nak Presbyterian Church. And Bill Majors, an American missionary to Seoul, was made an Honorary Citizen of Seoul for creating an English ministry, International Worship in English, at Young Nak Presbyterian Church, an effort that was the final fruit of Han's achievement. We have two notable men, two notable accomplishments, and one vision. Han was born in Korea and studied in the US and Korea. Majors was born in the US and studied in the US and Korea. Both men worked together to shape a notable two-pronged organization that bridges countries and continents. Over the last ten days, I've tried to make the firm beginnings of four articles that tell this entire story, complete with all the necessary sources that prove both accuracy and notability. I apologize if I've been short or gruff with anyone, but I get upset when people seem to doubt my respect for the integrity of Wikipedia; I've tried my best to make articles that meet its ideals of accurate and important information.

  • Keep per Noroton and WP:ORG. In the interest of disclosure, there is a related AfD for Bill Majors, the founder of this Org. located here. Keeper | 76 15:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Young Nak Presbyterian Church. The church is notable, but I don't think three separate articles are needed. -- Dougie WII (talk) 20:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
