Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Religion Communicators Council


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. There were no !votes for deletion, except as per the nom (which were unconvincing as the article was fully sourced even at the time of filing), and concomitantly no cogent arguments for losing the article, even though this has been open nearly three weeks. There were, however, repeated proofs made of notability, through reliable sourcing. The behavioural issue is being discussed, as stated, at WP:ANI.

 * comment The deletion page was created more than a week ago but never added to the log, and there was no afd2 template at the top; I have now added the template to this page and the nominator added it to the log yesterday. I have no current opinion on whether the article should be deleted or not. --bonadea contributions talk 07:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have struck through PoetryFan's !vote as (s)he is already the nominator. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:32, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep it's vitally important to search for all three names that this organization has used since its founding in 1929. For example, searching for its previous names, one finds this and this in Speaking of Faith: Public Relations Practice Among Religion Communicators in the United States, published by ProQuest. Taken as a whole, along with the Gnews hits, most of whom seem to be from a religious new service, or its Wilber Award, covered here by the Star-Banner news service, I believe we do have enough.

 * Keep I was able to find numerous reliable sources -- which are included in the current article -- and I am not really clear which policy this article hasn't met. Alicb (talk) 13:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
