Bread of Life Ministries International[edit]

1) Blatant advertising - the tone of the article is very similar to the marketing material of the church. See History, Prayer Activities and Other Ministries.

The article references 2 websites directly affiliated with the church. Most of the content and external links are directly derived from the these websites, making wikipedia as an extension of its marketing propaganda http://www.breadoflifeministriesinternational.org/aboutus.html and http://crossroad77.com/index.html

Also, the author (Peridan) has been systematically removing any negative publicity from the church. E.g. Church split and Senior Pastor disciplined in 1996. And the church published an article in the newspapers that turned out to be a hoax in 2004. Ref: http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2004/11/14/oped/nini.b..cabaero.html

2) Use of copyrighted material. The History section is directly derived from http://www.breadoflifeministriesinternational.org/aboutus.html (with some sentences paraphrased). Previously, Peridan uploaded the logo of the church, which was deleted due to copyright violations.

3) Also this seems to be a Recreation of deleted material. This article was deleted twice before.

As a side note, Crossroad77 seems to be a private entity and Bread of Life as the non-for-profit counterpart.

Delete per above. Sure looks like spam to me. And please note that I am PeridON not PeridAN who is the creator of the article. Peridon (talk) 21:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a major organization. If there's spam or cv, deal with the content directly. AKRadecki^Speaketh 22:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:56, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There seem to be plenty of reliable sources with significant coverage to establish notability. ([1]) The sources do need to be sifted through because apparently there are other organizations with the same name. The article does need copyediting, checking for WP:NPOV, and inline citations. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 15:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
