 * Keep And advise Nom that an unsourced article on a Broadcast network that claims to be active deserves a careful WP:BEFORE.   I ran a news search, and instantly found sources.  Will add a couple of them to the article now. E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I did a little sourcing, but neither the complexity of what this wealthy and powerful church-owned broadcaster owns and operates, or the precise nature of its relationship with Eagle Broadcasting Corporation is at all clear to me. For editors looking at this, coverage - and there is a daunting amount of it - can be located by searching for  Iglesia ni Cristo + keyowrds like television, broadcasting, or the names of individual channels, programs, broadcasters, etc.  The article awaits a knowledgeable editor.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:41, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, but the network does not own multiple stations; it only owns a radio station and a TV station, and their reach is only limited to Metro Manila and nearby areas. Sixth of March 00:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * delete fails WP:GNG. my own search finds only a few mentions but nothing in depth. LibStar (talk) 17:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same thoughts as nom and LibStar. 121.54.54.168 (talk) 01:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Iglesia ni Cristo with template:R with possibilities  suggests that there are other search terms, but with too much of this article lacking in inline citations, this is a problem for the content contributors to figure out and rehabilitate this article, which I hope they do.  None of the delete arguments stand.  The initial argument that the topic fails WP:V has been alleviated, and the subsequent claim that this article can be deleted under GNG fails our policies and guidelines, such as where WP:N says that deletion for a topic with unclear notability should be a last resort.  And where WP:Deletion policy says, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page."  Editing specifically includes a redirect.

 * Keep per E.M.Gregory's expansion and addition of sources from Philippines News Agency, The Manila Times, and Filipino Reporter to the article. Cunard (talk) 07:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - with the new sources this passes WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:25, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
