Sky Force

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

Ghits were overwhelmingly for other things called Sky Force, I couldn't establish that it meets WP:NOTABILITY. An orphaned page with no good redirect target. Tagged for notability for 7 years, unresolved; hopefully, we can now resolve it. Pinging those who have commented on its notability before: Fabrictramp tagged it for notability, Dgebel removed prod.

Delete per nom; I couldn't find anything to establish notability either. ~EdGl! 02:50, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Poetnial keep -- As I read the article this is (or was) a para-church youth organisation. Even if its merger has led to it being defunct, it may have eben notable once; if so, it should remain notable. I am taking the article at face value. If it could be demonstrated that it was only the program of one local church (or a handful), my view would be different. If my reading of the article that the organisation is effectively defunct, and was before the days of the Internet, the lack of Ghits is unsurprising.

Comment Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the one trying to prove notability? I double-checked Sky Force's website and they don't have a list of local chapters, so there's no telling if it was at 12 or 12,000 churches. ~EdGl! 23:23, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Er, not exactly, unsourced articles don't go to AFD, only articles that you have attempted ot find sources for, and failed. I'm gonna take a good faith swing at sourcing this.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:02, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per Nom. I did find a self published book by a father-son team of ministers in Muskoka, claiming to have founded this children's evangelical ministry. But neither, they, nor their church, nor Sky Force itself seem to have any independent sourcing or notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
