Google News search http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Harvest+Bible+Chapel%22&scoring=r&sa=N&start=10shows some sources which appear to satisfy the demand for multiple independent and reliable sources with substantial coverage. The Chicago Tribune Feb. 2, 2005 http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-32312873_ITMnoted the unique "franchise" nature of the church's expansion congregations, where the "franchise" sites serve up the same music, sermons and videos. The Daily Herald has had many dozens of articles about the church (behind paywall) such as http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=ADHB&p_theme=adhb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0ED0278D4C84579F&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM and http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-104886650.html and http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-111321814.html. '''Delete''' The refs cited are all the church's own sites. Independent and reliable refs are needed to show |notability. Having 10,000 claimed attendance or having several daughter churches do not by themselves make this one notable. Are there books, magazine articles or newspaper articles about the church. especially ones showing it had more than a local effect? See  , a proposed notability guideline (now tagged "rejected") for some ideas on how the notability of a church building or congregation can be demonstrated
