  :::::The article has already been nominated for deletion 3 times. The consensus is always that the article needs work but should exist. It gets frustrating to keep going over it, and people get touchy. Hopefully we can have this discussion with maximum objectivity so we don't have to keep rehashing it.  :::::So, back to your original complaint: WP:ORG#Alternate_criteria_for_specific_types_of_organizations does not stipulate that a third party talk state explicitly national/international scope of the organization, only that the scope of the organization is national/international, and that its activities be verified by a third party. Therefore, the primary source (the organization's web site listing of its international churches) is enough to prove the sufficiency of scope.   :::::
