Contested prod, my prod rationale having been "Article about a recently formed congregation that seems to fail to satisfy the WP:GNG, as I can find no substantive treatment in reliable, independent sources." None of the sources cited in the article appear to be independent, and all the nontrivial edits to it have seemingly been from involved single-purpose accounts.

  • Delete per Deor. --Nlu (talk) 16:03, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Obviously a young (<1yr) church in an impoverished area with community interests beyond church services [http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Church-promises-answer-question/article-2642847-detail/article.html] like Gloucester’s restoration and unemployment [http://www.onrec.com/news/d7_expands_again_this_time_with_conceptc] with a very active contemporary band [http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/City-inspiration-band-s-debut/article-2471782-detail/article.html] [http://www.soglos.com/music/30571/D7-Church-gigs-in-Kings-Square] [http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Debut-album-springboard-reformation/article-2584938-detail/article.html]. Its pastor has been interviewed on BBC radio [http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1421504616064] and I suspect some users will be interesting in reading its article.

  • Delete'. Yes, it's very hard for a church less than one year old to establish notability, but Wikipedia doesn't make allowances for that, nor does it make allowances for perceived worthiness of an organisation. At the moment, its coverage amounts to a few articles in a local paper and little more. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete for a lack of established notability. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 22:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - as currently non-notable. The option of restoring the article or starting a new version of the article when notability is established always remains. John Carter (talk) 01:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
