South Eastern Christian Centre

I had originally deleted this under speedy deletion criteria A7 - no claim of importance or significance, however the author of the article contacted me, and upon re-reading the article, I saw that it did indeed have a claim of significance (see next sentence) and restored it - letting the author know that I would be bringing it here.

The only claim to notability for this church is a 214% growth (actually, to be precise, the growth was 114%, the total membership being the original amount (100%) + the additional amount (114%)).

The main source of referencing is a book written by church itself, while the other main source is about the parent organisation, not this church.

I could find 2 references in Google News Archive, both of which are very minor ("This year Ted's foot soldiers are from the South Eastern Christian Centre in Endeavour Hills"; "The evening was organised by the South Eastern Christian Centre and several groups from the wider community also took part in the action"); likewise Google Books has two minor mentions ("He had become involved with the New Life Christian Centre and the South-Eastern Christian Centre which were church groups in the Dandenong region."; "Equally, is it acceptable to speak of a collection of 30 (State Zionist Council) or 4 (South Eastern Christian Centre) books as a library?"); Google Scholar had no hits.

I can find no evidence that this meets either the notability criteria for organisations or the general notability guidelines.

I should also mention that the name of the main editor Rob Nyhuis is that of the current leader of the church, and I have referred him to the conflict of interest guidelines. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:41, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - no evidence of notability; nothing in Google Books and only trivial mentions in Google News. However, I lean towards inclusion of religious denominations. There must be sources somewhere. Perhaps someone can do some digging? -- 202.124.72.240 (talk) 07:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
