I just realised that this article was previously deleted, under the title "[[General Youth Conference]]", which I just added as a redirect. I believe it is notable, and neutrally worded now.

- Without speaking to notability, I think there may reamain here issues with weasel words and with bias. I can offer a couple of examples. If I knew more about the topic, I would try to clean this up myself, but my knowledge is limited, and I'm not finding (in a cursory search) much good source material.
- Regarding weasel words, the fourth paragraph includes this sentence: "However, the growth of GYC has also been greeted with opposition and criticism." Readers are not told by whom, when, or in what form. Following: "Often, a lack of accurate information has led to a misunderstanding, if not a deliberate misinformation, about GYC in certain quarters of the church." What misunderstanding(s)? What misinformation, and how is it known to be deliberate? Which "quarters of the church"? Finally, "Similarly, those who have reasons to oppose what GYC stands for have tried to exploit this lack of knowledge to discredit the movement and all those known to be associated with GYC." Who so opposes? What are their reasons? How have they "tried to exploit" the ignorance? How are these attempts known?
- Regarding bias, the first and third opening paragraphs provide a number of examples in the use of terms such as "thriving," "radically," "life-transforming," "unique," and "serious." If these words were quotations or paraphrases, it would be easy to understand their context. As they stand, they sound like advertisement or promotion. —SkipperPilot (talk) 17:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
