International Union of Reformed Churches

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

The notability of this organisation is not attested to by reliable secondary sources. Furthermore, nearly all of the content and the citations have no relevance to the organisation itself, with the exception of one citation which shows an incidental reference to this organisation.

redirect to International Conference of Reformed Churches and add a line? Is this a sub synod or an indepedent synod? If it's sub, redirect as not much to merge , if it's independent, delete as did not meet gng. I am looking through this also and decided to pass Quek157 (talk) 09:23, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have been introducing information on the organization on the official website to the article of this wiki for a long time. However, the homepage is now in service due to hacking. Therefore, it is illegal to request deletion as information on the current organization as unconfirmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James kel (talk • contribs) 17:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see why we would redirect to International Conference of Reformed Churches - the organisations seem unrelated. IURC is not a notable organisation, and I have doubts as to whether it is a real organisation at all. But there is no way to find out really - the website doesn't even tell me who its "members" are, so it is hard to check. But there are basically zero Ghits apart from that website.

Delete - good points raised, no way to verify either, is it a hoax organization? I don't think so "Ghits" are always not a good indication, but I will think more RS need to be coming out. --Quek157 (talk) 22:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Think figured out what is this organization already, click on the picture (logo), linked to [1] which states Orthodox Presbyterian Church of Korea and website [2]. The former page was G11/G12 today, this is a WP:ROTM kind of coverage. Would like to save this either way, but the sources are linked to the doctrines not the organizations.--Quek157 (talk) 22:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- If the content is true this is potentially a notable organisation, but it is a very bad article, just as the official website is a bad one. My immediate question was who are the 11 members. They might be big denominations such as Church of Scotland or small splinter denominations, but neither the article nor the website tell me. I suspect the article's section on membership is a copy-vio from the website, since both lack spaces in the same places. The references (except the website and a couple of irrelevant items) answer the question of what is Reformed/Presbyterian/Calvinist, and are not specifically about the organisation. The article needs to be tagged for additional verification, which should include a list of member denominations (with links to their articles); and ideally verification that they are members.
