Reply to 25/26 March 2010 "Proposed For Deletion" template
editTemplate placed by Morenooso said: "It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern: Wikipedia is not a web host". My response: This article is clearly not being used as a web host. The referenced section of Wikipedia page, "What Wikipedia is not is "Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, social networking, or memorial site", and prohibits Personal web pages, File storage areas, Dating services, and Memorials. The present article is nothing like any of these things. Obviously deletion of the article is improper, especially on any of these grounds. I have removed the template.

Sourcing and verification: Reunion and follow-on performances
editMost of the April-May edits were constructive, but I take issue with the two edit commentaries stating that article content was "not in the source." Maybe the editor was actually objecting to references quoting interviews but that is a different issue. In any event the following chart documents how the sources did indeed recite the article content.
The reunion and follow-on performances, in Washington D.C. in Dec. 2010 and "We Pray for You" video in May 2011, seem fairly important in the context of this article and I think they should be included.
Read earlier content in this version.
