Can only find one reference to this in non-self-published reliable sources– ("A further small offshoot known as the Young Rite was founded in 2006."). A single sentence isn't significant coverage. Google Books find a few books discussing this organisation in detail, but they all appear to be self-published via Lulu.com, and in some cases the authors appear to have leadership roles in this organisation. Another minuscule splinter group of Liberal Catholicism (which is a small religious movement to begin with), to which independent reliable sources have paid hardly any attention.

 * Comment The book "Strange Vocation" appears to be from an independent publisher; however, it isn't independent coverage, since it is a volume of essays by leaders of Liberal Catholic denominations, and the essay on the Young Rite was contributed by one of its bishops.

 * Merge into Liberal_Catholic_movement to solve the notability problem.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I will go along with merge -- This seems to be about a denomination, but a splinter of a splinter, which must be miniscule. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:18, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There is only one independent reliable source here, which only has a single sentence in it on this topic. So, if we merge, there is almost no content to keep in the merge. All we could say, without going beyond independent reliable sources, is that this group exists, it was founded in 2006, that it is "small", and that it split from the Liberal Catholic Church. Now, if that's all you mean by "merge"–add a one sentence mention to another existing article–I support that. But, if by merge you mean copying the extensive content on this page into some other page, I don't think that would be a policy-compliant solution. SJK (talk) 06:09, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I would be happy with such a brief merge (which will leave a redirect). I am not fundamentally opposed to deletion, but think merger the better outcome.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:17, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
