Harvest Bible Chapel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable religious organization. This article was sent to AFD in 2008 with a result of no consensus, then again sent to AFD in 2010 with a result of delete. Article was recreated in 2013. Since then, no suitable referencing has been added to the article to show organizational notability. Another round of standard searches also did not reveal enough significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to show notability. -- Eclipsed (talk) (email) 08:56, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Just a note: the first ref you cite was written by the senior pastor of the church, so can't be used to show notability. -- Eclipsed (talk) (email) 07:24, 6 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep -- As a church operating on a number of campuses, this has the feel of being a denomination, rather than a local church. I note that it is called a "megachurch".  If that is right I would suggest that it is notable, though it is difficult to tell when no statistics are provided.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
