Nominating following contested PROD. Micro-denomination of (perhaps) six congregations; PROD contestor said poor sourcing is not a reason to delete, but no existing sources are valid for establishing notability, and WP:BEFORE searches provide no additional evidence of notability under WP:NORG.

Review of existing sources:

1. Link - Dead link; archived link here fails verification; it has not been updated since 2004 and confirms no other information about this church.
2. Link - Self-published source citing other self-published sources; not updated since 2014.
3. Link - Self-published source in discussion forum is not reliable.
4. Link - Self-published source making a single passing reference to the subject that may verify existence but not notability.
5. Link - A single passing reference that may verify existence but not notability.
6. Link - Self-published source in discussion forum is not reliable.
7. , 10, 11. Link, Link, Link - Webpages of member congregations and thus primary sources
8. Link - Denomination's webpage and thus a primary source
9. Link - Presbytery meeting minutes; primary source.

I cannot identify any other independent, secondary, reliable sources that verify the notability of this denomination. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
