[edit] Speedy deletion of Carolyn Mahaney
A tag has been placed on Carolyn Mahaney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 22:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Here is an answer to what do you propose about IKDG:
I would say that IKDG did both harm and good. Had Joshua Harris been more honest about the pitfalls of his group approach then maybe the book wouldn't have done nearly the harm that it did. Harris's noted all the defects he saw with dating but failed to acknowledge any of the problems that is own church had experienced with his approach. It baffles me that he failed to leave that out. Even on his "update" on his web page he fails to acknowledge problems that he recently noticed at his own church that he indicated in messages on courtship.
I am also baffled why so many people took a book written as his own testimony of what worked for him in his circumstances and age and thought they should apply to all despite differing ages etc.
Here are some sites with some good discussion about the book:
