Maranatha day

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable fringe event with no web presence except the external link. Article seems also to be a copyvio of the external link. Bazonka (talk) 11:50, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I am the article's creator. MARANATHA DAY is notable because it is a new, but rapidly growing concept among participating churches all over the world. Many practising Christians will recognise the significance of the concept, as well as its huge potential as it increasingly becomes popular as an annual event. A huge number of churches and Christians are participating in the maiden observance of the event on May 20, 2012. There is growing online presence on social media channels - Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. This article is a response to the growing request for information on MARANATHA DAY.--Doludairo (talk) 13:29, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. Does not meet criteria for WP:EVENT. Gwen Chan 14:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article creator seems to be saying that this will become a notable event. That may be, and if so, the article can be recreated at that time. For now though, it does not appear to be notable. Lady  of  Shalott  15:28, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject has no coverage in independent reliable sources, thus does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements.  As LadyofShalott says, when and if there is such coverage, the article can be recreated.  Right now, it's just advertising.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of independent sources provided or news coverage located. If this event becomes established as notable later, the article can be re-created. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:38, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Crystal balling, for starters. Promotional for seconds. Heavily drenched in POV for thirds. Carrite (talk) 02:08, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - not so notable. Also fails WP:EVENT and wiki is not a crystal ball. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions* 01:30, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. (from article's creator) viewed strictly from an events-perspective, all the comments above are very fair. However, the article's relevance is wider than just an 'event'. It is the underlying Christianity-based theme that gives it its flavour and relevance (as par the eschatological dimension and implication of MARANATHA DAY as a holy day). In addition to all the comments above, it will also be interesting to see comments and evaluation from this perspective, please. Thank you.--Doludairo (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
