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. The article has drastically changed since the AfD started. I feel a "no consensus" is appropriate because of the article's state of flux through the course of this discussion. A future AfD may be appropriate... — Scientizzle 17:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. This is HUGE in the Episcopal Church. It's used for deacons and priests. I'lll tag it for rescue and come back to it. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep for now - this article is tagged as "under construction". It is only 10 days old. Deletion would be premature, in three months time perhaps. Peterkingiron (talk) 01:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

>>><<< Ok folks, Bearian'sBooties has it right -- this is a very large program in a small church. Most candidates for the priesthood are required to take EFM (some folks take it while they're in seminary). I know that the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA) is the incredible shrinking church, but the folks who run EFM at Sewanee's School of Theology have hopes that other churches will take it up generally (it has been taken up bit by bit by some other churches on an individual basis). They would love to have the Methodists take it up. The program has value and having it explained at Wikipedia is useful should folks wonder what it is and what it's about.

• Comment - it gets 34,000 Ghits [1], and I promise to work on it. Bearian'sBooties 04:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for lack of reliable sources from outside the church.--Tikiwont 09:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I'm still looking. If I can't find anything by the end of the day, delete it, if that is the consensus. Bearian 14:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC) Done for now, I found one recent article on Google News that was a WP:RS. I hope that is good enough for now. Bearian 14:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
