10-member church, no notable publications, no notable coverage Killing Vector (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A congregation or even a small denomination is not inherently notable, and should satisfy the Wikipedia notability guideline via multiple independent and reliable sources with significant coverage. The ancient Alexandrine gnostics have coverage in Google books, but this modern group does not appear to have such coverage. Taking a name which smacks of the early church does not prove continuity of the notability that early church movement enjoys. Edison (talk) 17:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: There are no objective sources. Everything appears to be fictional. A one-man-church is not notable! Nidrosia (talk) 23:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The fact there are few current members does not imply it's not notable, e.g. see Shakers. But the Shakers have a history going back 250 years and have had a significant cultural impact, can you say that about this church?--RDBury (talk) 04:05, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- All I read in the above comments are arguments for deletion based on a lack of reliable sources and no current or historical cultural importance for this religious group. I doubt that anyone here (or anywhere) would say the same for the Shakers. youngamerican (wtf?) 11:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
