Defunct micro-denomination that existed for less than 10 years. It is not included in any of the authoritative encyclopedic sources (e.g. Melton). Can find no sources to establish notability under GNG or NORG. Existing sources in the article are unreliable or unverifiable. My analysis follows:
- Link - This page is content copied from a self-published primary source formerly associated with the subject.
- Link - Online directory page; equivalent to citing the Yellow Pages
- Link - Primary source
- Banner of Truth magazine. This magazine is not available online (see here) and thus this citation is unverifiable.
- British Church Newspaper. Likewise unavailable online and thus unverifiable.
- Link - Primary source
- Link - Discussion board; user-generated content.

During the 2006 AfD, which resulted in no consensus, those arguing for "keep" tended not to make policy-based arguments. Additionally, they specifically pointed to the British Church Newspaper and Banner of Truth Magazine citations as proving notability. After 18 years, however, these publications remain unavailable online (including in the Internet Archive) and thus cannot be verified. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Invalid reasoning. A source that is not online remains verifiable by a trip to a library. Dead-tree sources are perfectly legitimate. And a denomination being defunct really doesn't matter. If it was notable once, it remains notabvle. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:19, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
