Significant Coverage?
As defined by Wikipedia - ''"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.'' This topic is the subject of "Significant coverage" in the following books: Chapter 12 of The Bible in American Life, edited by Philip Goff, Arthur Emery Farnsley, Peter Johannes Thuesen, Oxford University (2017) and Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States, Volume 5, edited by George Thomas Kurian, Mark A. Lamport, Rowman & Littlefield Lanham (2016) pp. 200-201 - under Baraca Philathea.

Any organization that attracted over 1 million adherents in 5-10 years after its founding seems to be a Prima Facie case of being a subject worthy of inclusion in any encyclopedia.

The fact that this organization is now (probably) defunct does not make it any less worthy of mention in an encyclopedia. It fact it enhances the reason for its inclusion.

This article does not appear to fall under any fair reading of any of the 14 reasons for deletion. Deletion policy Lack of significant coverage is not a reason for deletion.

It is history that deserves to be remembered, fulfilling a prime objective of any encyclopedia.

I agree with Kookookachew that none of the criteria for deletion are relevant here. There is certainly detailed support from numerous sources for "significant coverage". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avvocato48 (talk • contribs) 05:34, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
