Non-notable organization. Speedy deletion was declined, although I see no claims of notablity. Woogee (talk) 06:57, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• Comment The largest paragraph is a barely modified version of info found at the official website [http://www.theresurgence.com/about here]. That may present a copyright problem. --Ibn (talk) 07:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• In re notability: Article in Time Magazine[http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1884779_1884782_1884760,00.html], founder w/multiple appearances on ABC Nightline, multiple appearances in itunes top ten for podcasts>religion, The Resurgence fan page is approaching 20,000 fans on facebook (just short of the largest Barak Obama group page), The book, Vintage Jesus, had sold 25,000 copies prior to even being released. The Resurgence organization has been a major catalyst for all of that.

:*The Time Magazine article doesn't appear to mention TheResurgence. --Ibn (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

• Aside from numbers, The Resurgence is also notable for significant shifts in culture and thought - a major trend toward Reformed, Calvinistic, Evangelical Orthodoxy among young single adults, spanning disparate political persuasions. Jeverettk (talk) 07:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)jeverettk
• :Can you provide relible sources for those claims? Woogee (talk) 23:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• Also, while not a great measure, Google "the resurgence" and you the top two results are this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparticus (talk • contribs) 17:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

:*When I Google "the resurgence", the first two results are to TheResurgence's website, hardly a reliable evidence of anything. Woogee (talk) 23:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• Merge into Mark Driscoll. TheResurgence seems to be riding entirely on his popularity. It hasn't rated an explicit mention in coverage about the New Calvinism. StAnselm (talk) 02:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

• Merge that which is verifiable (and copyvio-free) into Mark Driscoll. Despite the founder's notability, the organisation itself does not yet appear to enjoy the coverage necessary to justify its own article. --Ibn (talk) 09:05, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
