Transformationalism[edit]

Unreferenced article which is, nonetheless, a massive linkfarm. "Transformational Christianity is a very young movement; since it has few structures, creeds, or spokespeople, its future direction is still unclear." [...] "While there is as yet no consensus definition of Transformational Christianity, the following links appear to reflect usage roughly in line with at least some aspect of this article"

So: WP:OR, WP:V and WP:N issues openly and self-referentially admitted. Guy (Help!) 22:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guy, So, if we trimmed the links down into specific references for the various points, would that help? The article was written before the current Citation policy, so I admit it needs cleanup...Drernie (talk) 14:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now - I have no idea whether this article is well-sourced or not, or whether this is a significant trans-denominational movement or a non-notable (unsuccessful) attempt to create one. The unreferenced tag is not quite correct, but the sources are expressed as external links. What this article needs is in-line citations of the works relied upon for each statement, or at least a list of the sources used to write it. When that is done it may be possible to judge its merits.

Keep and Rewrite The article needs to be cleaned up using some of those external link documents (if they're reliable sources) as inline citations. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
