 * Keep, the article wasn't what I expected to see when I read this nomination. In fact it has quite an extensive list of bibliographical references which are about, not published, by the author; George N. Marshall, A. Powell Davies and His Times (1990) and The Mind and Faith of A. Powell Davies, edited by William O. Douglas (1959) for example. Yes, it needs more inline references, but this almost certainly passes WP:N and WP:CLERGY. All of the stuff about McCarthyism is quite interesting, and there are evidently books about that available. If a minister who died in 1957 was thought noteworthy enough for an article by a modern Wikipedian, that must be testament to something. Bob talk 08:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, yeah, I don't really understand this nomination. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
