Young Religious Unitarian Universalists

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A long article detailing the extensive committee structure of a non-notable Unitarian Universalist Association youth group. The article is sourced entirely to the group's website. My own look for sources showed the following: They seem to create a lot of Unitarian Universalist websites that show up in a Google search, but I couldn't find any independent, reliable sources among them. Similarly, Google News and Google Books don't yield non-trivial mentions of this specific organization. I cannot imagine a merge of any of the text to Unitarian Universalist Association, or into its notable indirect predecessor (Liberal Religious Youth) as the material is far too detailed.

 * Delete - WP:RS, WP:OR, and notability concerns. /Blaxthos 17:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be original research - no reliable sources. Non-notable group as well. --DizFreak talk Contributions 20:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep Just because these articles have not yet attracted a large number of interested editors, doesn’t mean they are of unimportance. And on the issue of independent, reliable sources, I would not expect the mainstream to report on something that doesn’t affect or come into contact with it for that mater. Also the reason there are a lot of in house web sites from this community and its wider community the Unitarian Universalist Community, is because this group and it’s sub-groups and events are of apportions to the youth and former youth who are or who were involved with it.--Devin Murphy 01:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Church sources can be used for matters of church doctine, issues within the church, etc. But a claim that a church group is notable requires independent sources -- sources outside the church. If it hasn't gotten the attention of external media or scholars, it isn't notable enough to be in the encyclopedia. Best, --Shirahadasha 23:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with the option of allowing recreation of page when and if the independent sources required to establish notability can be found. John Carter 13:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unless notability can be and is established. Brief mention may be made in Unitarian Universalism or Unitarian Universalist Association, with expansion into stub/full article as reliable, independent sources are found.  "Important" and "notable" are not synonymous in Wikipedia terminology. Aleta 21:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
