Andrew Strom

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Promotional article about an evangelical preacher. Described as controversial but can only muster 19,000 followers. No reliable sources to indicate notability, just blogs, Amazon reviews and self-published material that don't count as WP:RS. Googling "Andrew Strom" -wiki -blog -linkedin -facebook -amazon -youtube gives lots of hits but no firm support for notability per WP:GNG andy (talk) 08:46, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

REPLY FROM PTESLA-

We had already added references from such reliable sources as Canadian Christianity, Christians Together, and Christian-faith.com. We have now added another reference from the world's most prominent Pentecostal magazine - "Charisma Magazine" - which describes Andrew Strom as a "Revival Historian and teacher" while quoting him as an authority in their article "When Christians Quit Church." If you do a search on Google, you will find that Andrew Strom's books, articles and videos are discussed on thousands of websites across the world. He is one of the most controversial figures in the Charismatic movement. This will become obvious if you do the search and look through all the websites. We believe "notability" is well established. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PTesla (talk • contribs) 09:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nom - no notability established although claimed.  References are mostly blogs or self written. No authoritative secondary sources at all. Reads like an advert.  Velella  Velella Talk  09:17, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Ok, I'm assuming that's equivalent to an "Author requests deletion", and have tagged it for speedy deletion G7. --88.104.36.157 (talk) 09:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
