The result was keep. - Bobet 10:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Verification is my first concern. Google returns quite a few times the phrase is used, but not as the subject of a report by a reliable source. Google news has it lots of times in lists of organisations, or CVs, but not on it's own. If we cannot write an unbiased article due to a dearth of sources, we can't have an article. I'm also unconvinced as to this organization's signifigance. brenneman {L} 05:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not encyclopeadic, no verification, no evidence of notablity. "rallies can attract as many as 13000 people or more". What kind of statistic is that? (Answer: meaningless.) Emeraude 12:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Probably non-notable, reads like an advertisement. Nobody even links to them [1]. eaolson 14:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As far as the links go, I think you'll find lots more links to their old website at youthalive.org.au or various state sites (since it's more done state by state) than the new web site which only started earlier this year. I'm not sure how relevant that is anyway. Agreed that it did read like an advertisement, but Nath's edit today makes it read a lot better in my opinion. -Jasonb 08:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I'm probably biased because of my involvement with Youth Alive :) but I think it's notable because it is the largest interdenominational youth ministry network in Australia I believe (definately in Western Australia) - in Christian circles pretty much everyone at least knows about Youth Alive. I'd be happy to expand it with my knowledge (however I believe that might qualify as original research? Can someone clarify that?). -Jasonb 13:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This group puts on the largest youth oriented events across Australia every year. The article isn't up to standard but it's inclusion in wikipedia is notable. If this article is worthy of being deleted what about other Christian youth movements in Australia like Planetshakers? Nath85 04:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The article has had a fair bit of work on it now by myself and others. Nath85 23:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete. Not clear that this group is notable. I think that it could be, but the article does not convince me. If the article is improved to fix this concern that my vote would change. Vegaswikian 22:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Recent changes to the article and the apparent notability of the subject matter seem to merit its inclusion into wikipedia. would like to see more sources though. Jaems 11:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Seems to be notable. Pedia-I Project St.Theres a 07:25, 4 December 2024 UTC [refresh]
