Does not meet WP:ORGCRIT as lacking "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Currently has no secondary sources whatsoever. AusLondonder ( talk) 23:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Secondary? | Overall value toward ORGCRIT |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions [1]: 287 | The entry is about the Evangelical Methodist Church of America, and all it says of this facility is "Educational Facilities: Breckbill Bible College, Max Meadows, Virginia." That is it. | – Encyclopaedias are technically tertiary, but that would be good enough if coverage were significant | |||
Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States. [2]: 832 | Caveat: I had to use google books preview for this as I don't have access to the volume. However, Google books only shows one hit for Breckbill, on page 832. All the entry seems to say is as above, the EMCA operates Breckbill Bible College in Max Meadows, Virginia. | – Encyclopaedias are technically tertiary, but that would be good enough if coverage were significant | |||
breckbillbiblecollege.org [3] | This is their own website | They would be reliable for telling us about themselves | All about the Bible College | Clearly they are a primary source for themselves | |
isainet.com [4] | Statement from the Academic president, email Manahath@..., and copyright the Bible College. Remember that email address. | – No reason to doubt that someone from the college is reliable about the college, although the URL just places this in someone's user space. | – Many editors would say three paragraphs are significant. I don't see it is really enough to be writing an encyclopaedic page from though. | It is a statement from the Academic president of the college. That is a primary source. | |
edutrek.com [5] | Almost certainly not independent. It is a directory listing, and I expect that has been placed. However, I don't know that is the case so I'll leave that as unclear. | It's just an address but I do not doubt reliability. | Two sentences and an address. This is a directory listing | This question is moot. I would say it is primary but the source fails on significance anyway. | |
The Life and Ministry of William Wallace Breckbill | This book was found in the deletion discussion. Per Left guide the publisher is Manahath Press. Now, recall the email address above. This is a small publishing arm of the college. | I expect the college is reliable about themselves | I have not read the book. It is likely to be yes. | Unclear without reading the book, but as it is not independent, it is already ruled out. |
