 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep -- I think the fact that it hired the O2 arena for its anniversary indicates a substantial size, perhaps for a network of churches.

 * This is an international mega-church based in Australia. Religion News Service article linked here in an open source: indicates that the European branch churches are large and growing. And in the Hillsong Church article, "Extensions" section there is this unsourced assertion : "Hillsong London have planted extension services in Surrey and in Paris." This may simply need more sourcing, failing that, it should be redirected to the "Extensions" section of the mother church.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:25, 1 June 2015 (UTC)  Changing that to keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Coverage of the London Hillsong:, this Christianity Today interview makes the London church sound like a pretty big deal, here's an interview with the pastor of Hillsong London , an article about the Hillsong London expanding to Norwich , plus considerable coverage of the music that comes out of the London Church, celebrities who attend, an invitaiton to a controversial pastor ot speak there, and here is a 2006 BBC article about the church  The London Hillsong readily passes WP:GNGE.M.Gregory (talk) 11:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Your first source is about a conference, not the church, and about disgraced American pastor Mark Driscol's presence at the conference. Other articles are short. Not sure they help meet GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:21, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I really think we need to take a closer look . Moreover, since Hillsong Music Australia opens with an assertion, which can be sourced in some of the articles I flagged above, that  Hillsong Music is produced by the Sydney, London and Kiev churches, deleting London and Kiev becomes problematic.  This seems to be a big deal church, in London and Kiev as well as in Australia, New York and the music biz.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:02, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
