This article lacks any reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 23:27, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wallis has attracted academic attention as an important early charistmatic leader in Britain and theological attention as a 20th century evangelical proponent of fasting as a spiritual practice. This looks like a failure of WP:BEFORE. Further, "article lacks any reliable independent sources" is not a valid deletion reason, a deletion reason based on lack of reliable independent sources would have to be that they don't exist, not that they're not already present in the article.--Jahaza (talk) 16:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notability has clearly been established, most clearly in the biography. This was written (I presume) by his son, but published by an independent publisher (Kingsway). StAnselm (talk) 18:42, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Certainly a very notable figure. Even if the biography is by his son, its publication by Kingsway indicates that its veracity will have been checked by an editor there.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:36, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable. Article could use improvement (what else is new?), but the lede, which mentions his widely cited book, The Radical Christian, is solid.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
