I originally PRODed this article, which was taken off without explanation (as far as I can see). There is no evidence that this is a notable organization. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 14:53, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not so much the article creator as midwife. I moved it at the request of an IP editor who I had unjustly warned when I did not realize that anons cannot create articles. Beyond this, I will abstain from these discussions. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:04, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- If the claims are correct (and I do not know), this is a denomoination of over 900 churches. If so, it is certainly notable. The only possibly question should be of verifying the content. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's the problem I had. The article makes a lot of claims to notability but I can't find a single source which deals with the church. Which suggests that some of these claims may be stretched somewhat. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 19:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Dispite the lack of source, I think it won't be hard to find them. This church is important in Brazil. Its founder keeps a very well known show on TV, as you can see here. Unfortunatelly, the article in portuguese lacks of RS, but the church is certainly notable. Lechatjaune (talk) 17:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Plenty of sources can be found by searching in Portuguese: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. My Portuguese is just about good enough to see that the news, books and scholar hits include many independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject, but it's not really good enough for me to use them to source the article, so I'll have to leave that task to someone else.

KEEP , Not only is this a well known faith-church but I believe that it has attracted some controversy as well. This should give indications of it being "note worthy". (Milestokilo (talk) 12:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]
