Rockford masters commission


Nothing particularly notable about this group. It's written like a sales pamphlet. No sources other than the group's own web page. [Check Google hits] Ghits number 558 but only 29 are "unique" and none of them are very useful. Contested speedy. ... disco spinster   talk  20:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The Rockford Master's Commission was the second Master's Commission program to become an affiliate of the Master's Commission International network. Their director, Jeremy Deweerdt, sits on the board of the MCIN and is head of the European Master's Commission Network. The Rockford Master's Commission is one the premier Master's Commission programs in the entire world and many other Master's Commission programs look to them as a solid model for what a Master's Commission should look like.

The Rockford Master's Commission is a model that other Master's Commissions, Churches, youth groups, and non-profit organizations, look to for direction. Someone who does not know about the Master's Commission "world" would not understand the purpose of this article. However there are 10s of thousands of Master's Commission students and alumni worldwide as well as members of the church who would benefit from this article.

 * Do Not Delete:The MCIN is a network of over 10,000 members worldwide and hold a yearly conference in Phoenix, AZ. It is a cross denominational movement.  If you google master's commission you'll see how large of a movement it is.  Please do not delete this article.
 * Comment There's a very simple way to solve this problem, introduce references into the article from non-trivial secondary sources (meaning not principals or participants in the organization) that establish that it's notable by WP notability standards, see WP:NOTE for details. Delete per WP:RS, WP:NOTE, no references by reliable sources that this organization is notable outside its circle of participants. Tubezone 18:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There is nothing notable about this particular local group of the organization, and the contents talk only about the organization in general. There seems to be no WP article on "Master's commission: and it would seem from the arguments above that there should be. James, why don't you write one if you know about them?DGG 23:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete: References have been added. There are two seperate references to the Masters Commission International Network.  This is the best external reference for Master's Commission.  Is it agreed that we can remove the deletion talk page at this point?  Jamesbarlow143 16:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The references added are all to the Rockford masters commission's own sites.  You need to provide reliable external sources as evidence of notability.  ...  disco spinster   talk  16:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
