- Delete. While I could find a few mentions of it in some small newspapers, nothing indicated WP:ORGDEPTH. Agree with nom on WP:PROMO issues. Bordwall( talk⁄ ctrb) 17:05, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
Delete. Not notable. Fails per WP:CHRISTIANITY and per WP:SPORT. Ashbeckjonathan ( talk) 00:20, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment @ Ashbeckjonathan: The two links you provide above are just links to the main pages of WikiProject Christianity and WikiProject Sports, which are not notability guideline pages. North America 1000 01:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Good point. I'll try to remember that. Ashbeckjonathan ( talk) 01:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- @ Ashbeckjonathan: So what is your basis for article deletion, besides "not notable". Did you read any of the sources I provided below? North America 1000 02:40, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Then I'll change my vote to keep. I'll need to pay more attention next time maybe do some research perhaps.

- Keep – Certainly passes WP:ORGDEPTH, having received significant independent nationwide coverage in various U.S. newspapers. Promotional tone can be addressed by copy editing the article. Source examples include, but are not limited to: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. North America 1000 00:44, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
