Redemption Hymnbook

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I see no evidence that this article meets our standards of notability. There are currently no sources cited, so it fails verifiability requirements, and a quick Google Books search shows only a few passing mentions - not enough on which to build an article. Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the alleged "Redemption Hymnbook Only" movement mentioned in the article may be a hoax - I was not able to find any evidence of it on Google except for Wikipedia mirrors. *** Crotalus *** 15:57, 16 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Note - as described below I have moved this article to Redemption Hymnal. Thparkth (talk) 16:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm 99% sure this is mistitled and should be named "Redemption Hymnal". If so, I can assure you that the book does exist, is red-covered, was published by Elim, and is a favorite of old-school conservative evangelical churches. I'm so certain that this is that book that I'm going to go ahead and move the article. Oh, and keep because it will be easily verifiable and is notable. Thparkth (talk) 16:12, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Google finds multiple mentions of the book (under the new, correct, title). Four books are cited as sources. Unsourced material on the alleged "Redemption Hymnbook Only" movement (noted by the nom) no longer exists in the article. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 06:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep (with new title). This is (or was) a widely used hymnal in Pentecostal churches in UK, and so deserves an article.  The present one is rather bland.  My impression of Pentecostal hymn singing is that most hymns had a chorus, perhpas so that the less literate could easily join in (but that is probably my WP:OR.
