True Jesus Church in Singapore

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

These articles are either unreferenced or referenced in large or in whole to first party publications. There is, simply put, not enough reliable, third party coverage of the movement to justify these splinter articles. Additionally, the main article, True Jesus Church, is of questionable notability (see separate AfD and Meta discussion attached to that AfD). Finally, there are both major NPOV concerns, and possible copyvio concerns (see deletion history of True Jesus Church in Sabah).Sven Manguard Wha? 22:27, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. Excessive split-off to subarticles of an already very questionable main article. I find it rather promotional rather than informative. There's also a lack of independent secondary sources as references.--Cold Season (talk) 00:57, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and summarise -- This is a Chinese Christian denomination. I do not share some of its theology, but that is by the way. It seems to have conducted missionary work in south and east Asia before between the wars and in refcnet times. I am not sure that there is merit in having the main article and China article separate. Similarly, the missionary activities outside China need gathering into one or a few articles. Individual reports of how people in particular countries came into contact with the movement are probably NN; similarly a single church in a country.

For all articles, merge whatever salvageable information to True Jesus Church. Perhaps there are more sources available in Chinese, but there's simply not enough coverage for the church's activities outside of their country (indeed, even the main church's notability is questionable, although this could be more attributed to a lack of English sources).

Merge and summarise; there are serious WP:N issues, but some content may be salvageable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:45, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Nothing to merge per deletion of the main article after the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/True Jesus Church. --Cold Season (talk) 00:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All. Highly dubious notability given that the main True Jesus Church article no longer exists. --DAJF (talk) 02:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. A merge would have been appropriate if the parent entity were notable, but the recent deletion of True Jesus Church at AFD indicates that it's probably not. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC).[reply]
