Entirely promotional - no assertion of notability or reliable sources, only two scant references (one of which is tagged as unreliable, the other of which is a brief reference in an evangelical Christian source). Not encyclopedic. SuaveArt (talk) 09:18, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added references from the Richmond Times-Dispatch and the Catholic News Agency. -- Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – per Eastmain's new sources and many other that are available on Google News. It may need some cleanup/better wording (per nom), but the topic is clearly notable and the writing isn't even all that bad to begin with. American Eagle (talk) 19:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and improve references. StAnselm (talk) 11:36, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails to meet the requirements for WP:ORG (in neither its non-profit nor commercial guise). The given references are little more than promotional/PR pieces promoting debates/film events etc. and such "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability." (NB One of the ref links opens a malware/phishing pop up window) Without any serious discussion of the subject itself from reliable sources the article can only be seen as a promotional piece as per nomination.

Comment. I've added a criticism section to address the above concerns. StAnselm (talk) 22:40, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
