[edit] Passion Conferences

Passion Conferences (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable ministry. No reliable sources. Corvus cornix 23:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. No reliable sources cited (the SBC Baptist Press can't be qualified as independent in this case). Even if this is kept, the articles about the conference recordings (Passion: Better is One Day, etc...) certainly fail any and all notability tests. Caknuck 01:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep these conferences look like pretty major events. Google news hits reference the event as having anywhere from 10,000 attendees in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to over 20,000 people in the Belleville News-Democrat, and is the subject of articles in the Washington Times, Atlanta Journal, and many other local newspapers. Article needs cleanup and these articles added as references. ~Eliz81^(C) 01:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment This looks likely to be notable to me based on the content of the article (10 conferences over 10 years) and the fact that I had heard of it before (not that me hearing about it makes it notable, just that I know it does exist and I think they're pretty large). However, I don't see any good sources in this article to assert the notability. I'll change to "Keep" if someone cleans up this article to add some. Cogswobbletalk 17:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep If editing will fix the article than it does not qualify for deletion, deletion is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Ratherhaveaheart 17:59, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't see anything that could fix this article to make it notable. That's why I nominated it. Please assume good faith. Corvus cornix 20:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Quite enough refs in Google News to be added to show notability--not just local papers: Washington Times [1], Atlanta Constitution [2] etc etc .
• Delete nn group. passing references are insufficient; significant coverage is required under WP:N unless we want to become a directory of every conceivable group or business which can find some passing references in reliable sources, then we're the YP (yellow pages) not WP.

• Keep As per Ratherhaveaheart, if it can be edited to fix it - it's not deletable. The conferences return many refs in google searches and they are big, very big. They have become internationally known (e.g. I'm from Australia and I know of them). If it helps, I'll find someone 'trustworthy' to quote. Richardschwarz.oz 06:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
