Not sure if this is encyclopedic ? Also the article's author seems to have a conflict of interest, as his username is the same as one of the websites listed at the bottom ♪TempoDiValse♪ 04:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Ruthlessly Rewrite Fails WP:ADVERT and WP:COI. Needs considerable improvement, possibly start from scratch.ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 04:24, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep While the article is horrendous and needs to be rewritten using proper third-party sources, the organization itself is clearly notable as demonstrated by a quick Google or Google book search. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a denomination, but if it does, denominations are generally considered notable. —BradV 04:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A missionary society from a major denomination should merit an article, especially one that's been around for almost a hundred years. Obviously, this article needs improvement, but it hasn't even been around fror two days. Jclemens (talk) 04:57, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - as notable topic - but it does need rescue - or to be stubbified at the very least. Springnuts (talk) 13:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Certainly a significnat topic. It appears to be a dissenting Seventh Day Adventist denomination, rather than strictly a missionary society, but it has existed for nearly a century, and in a number of countries. Certainly notable; despite any COI or other issues, it should be retained. Note: I have just wikified it (a little). Peterkingiron (talk) 15:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
