Coalition for Christian Outreach

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable religious organization. The single third party source do not supply evidence of notability. GrapedApe (talk) 03:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for a lack of notable references. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 17:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete appears to fail criteria for notability Warfieldian (talk) 20:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Additional third party sources were added to the article Ccoministry (talk) 14:28, 02 March 2011 (UTC) — Ccoministry (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I don't think the two news article that you added establish notability. See WP:Notability, which requires significant coverage of the topic in question. Those two articles are not about the organization--they merely mention the organization in articles about some of their employees.  There's no analysis of the organization, so there's no "significant coverage". Also, User:Ccoministry, before you edit further, I'd suggest that you read WP:COI.--GrapedApe (talk) 03:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Question for you GrapedApe, how is it that InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is able to have a page when almost all of their sources are from their own pages? And what about Catholic Christian Outreach? They don't have any sources listed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccoministry (talk • contribs) 20:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The size and scope of of the organization is impressive, and they do get some outside coverage even though it is not currently cited at the article. For example the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette described its Jubilee 82 as "one of the biggest assemblies of Christian youth." I'll add some references to the article - and maybe delete some of the puffery - and then let's see what others think. --MelanieN (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Those 2 references are about the jubilee conference, not the CCO. Maybe the conference is notable, but not the CCO.--GrapedApe (talk) 01:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? The organization isn't notable but its annual convention/gathering is? --MelanieN (talk) 05:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep, while this is a borderline case, I think MelanieN's additions are enough to keep it. Kansan (talk) 23:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
