 * Speedy delete as duplicate of Deeper Christian Life Ministry. This page was a redirect before it was recreated for no good reason. Even the infobox title is the same between the articles. Laurdecl talk 09:12, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge or reverse merge to Deeper Life Bible Ministry. This appears to be a denomination, or effectively so.  WE normally keep articles on denominations.  Which article should be kept and which should become a redirect depends on which is their preferred name.  The Lagos church (with the HQ) appears to be a mega-church, which will be separately notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Apparently there's nothing like that! guess you mean Deeper Life Bible Church Mahveotm (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect (or Merge), probably to Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos, which is the flagship church of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry. This was not looked at properly and should not have been nominated for deletion.  I have not looked into the record of the deletion nominator, but i think the important thing here is to DENY the deletion and avoid this adding to some false tally of accomplishments.  Or maybe I am wrong, and fault lies with whoever created this article from the redirect, for example.  But if Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos exists, it is perfectly reasonable for Deeper Life Bible Church to exist as a redirect or disambiguation page or whatever. -- do  ncr  am  20:41, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: See also Articles for deletion/Deeper Life Bible Church Lagos, which looks like it is headed for "Keep" decision.  This Deeper Life Bible Church article was created apparently as a misguided attempt to help out there, as an attempt to rename the article in effect, to address a naming concern expressed there.  This is an innocent mistake.  Whatever final article name is set (with or without comma) for the Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos, it is reasonable for this to be a redirect to it. -- do  ncr  am  20:47, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. I note that Deeper Christian Life Ministry's infobox says it is "non-denominational".  It may be that Deeper Christian Life Ministry is not a denomination, but rather that it consists mainly of just the one church, in which case there should be just one article and Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos should redirect to it or vice versa.  Either way, Deeper Life Bible Church should be a redirect. -- do  ncr  am  21:01, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: After this article is deleted, Deeper Christian Life Ministry needs to be moved to Deeper Life Bible Church, that is not only the WP:COMMONNAME, but also what is notable for Wikipedia. The church is what is clearly notable, not the ministry. I have worshiped at Deeper Life churches on certain occasions for several years, and I didn't even know the official umbrella body was DLCM, what everyone knows it as is DLBC. A seperate article for the ministry can be created at a later time but I doubt if it will be notable. --User:- [[User:Darreg|- User:Darreg]] (User talk:- [[User:Darreg|talk]] • Special:Contributions/- [[User:Darreg|contribs]]) 08:15, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
