Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niscience (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I have given little weight to the two opinions from single purpose accounts and while the keep supporters think it only just meets the notability guideline, I can't see a consensus for deletion here. Davewild (talk) 06:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This organization is not “notable” by Wikipedia standards and therefore should not be represented in Wikipedia. The organization has not received significant coverage from “multiple reliable sources” independent of the organization. In the absence of such documentation the article does not accurately represent the purpose, activities, or history of the organization. Sattviclight (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctantly Keep -- It seems to be a small syncretism between Christianity and New Age, though rather older than that. It is not a hoax as is clear from the LA Times article; and it has been going some 60 years. The question is how notable. My assessment on that is slight, rather than NN.

Why exactly? SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning towards keep - I acknowledge there could be more sources and multiple searches found nothing definite and significant (see this and this) but at least this article is neat and sourced so this makes think keep. SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - it's badly written, but cites 1 and 2 imply it's notable. Bearian (talk) 13:29, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Poorly written. Citations are outdated and limited. Impossible to give fair and unbiased representation from available sources.GGATG (talk) 21:28, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a Google search does not find any authoritative indication of notability. The only internet-accessible references are two non-authoritative primary sources and effectively an obituary.--Rpclod (talk) 03:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
