delete I can find only one book reference for this, and it is a passing reference to what I must guess were the Seventh Day Dunkers who split off from the Ephrata Cloister. That's certainly not enough. Mangoe (talk) 20:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC) I agree that the book is describing the Seventh Day Dunkers, a group in the 1800s. The article seems to be implying that the name describes a group that exists now. I don't know what group that could be. Jonathan.robie (talk) 21:10, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

delete Does this group exist? If so, is it well known enough to justify an article? The article claims to describe a group called Seventh Day Mennonites, and implies that this is a group that exists today. It does not identify the group. I cannot identify the group. We were able to find one book reference that uses this term to describe the Seventh Day Dunkers, a group in the 1800s that is already described on a Wikipedia page. The page contains no references to identify a group with this name. As the article now makes plain, nearly all Mennonites observe Sunday as the day of worship.
