Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

With the exception of refs #12-14, all the sources are primary, and therefore unable to establish notability per WP:ORG. Those two sources are offline, and cited in such as way as to give no indication of whether they provide significant coverage of the subject (please see WP:OFFLINE for advice on citing offline sources). In any case, even if they did provide sigcov, two sources are not really enough to satisfy ORG/ WP:GNG.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Churches in Communites International and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thank you. it is dissapointing considering Churches in Communities is one of the fastest growing denominations in the UK. Many of the references used are from widely-respected and authorative organisations in UK Christendom; Churches Togther and the Free Churches Group being one of the highest authorities for most UK free-churches. I will look into it sources that meet the criteria mentioned. For the British military to endorse CIC surely has some independent authority. I did notice that smaller denominations such as the Countess of Huntingdon Connexion or New Frontiers have pages published with much less sources. Like I say, I will look into what to do but I've probably exhausted the publicly available and linkable references, other than linking more churches which are part of CIC.
