Avery Nesbitt

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

fails WP:BIO. Those citations available are either unreliable or linked to the source; example, he's won an award, one that is both unimportant and directly linked to his foundation work. Ironholds (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as no independent evidence of notability. The creator of the article (User:Averycnesbitt) has also been removing a COI notice and the AfD notice (now restored). AllyD (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have removed the AfD per the above line "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the dated prod notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page." which I have done. Please explain why you feel the article does not fit proper guildlines.  I am removing the AfD. Additional references have been added.
 * That applies to WP:PROD, not WP:AFD. Ironholds (talk) 22:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well. Then what needs to be added to the article.  I have included additional references and supporting articles.  Please explain why you feel the article does not fit proper guildlines. (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete: lacks reliable independent references, apparently WP:autobiography. -- Radagast3 (talk) 03:26, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Almost entirely original research. StAnselm (talk) 04:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The references seem to be legit.  Article needs to have unsubstantiated infomrmation verfied or removed by can be keep.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by WindowLover (talk • contribs) 06:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)  — WindowLover (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Articled has been edited and additional independent references have been made. Averycnesbitt (talk) 07:49, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The article has 8 references by my count, all web links, mostly affiliated with the subject in some way (from Victory World Church or Sunday to Sunday). The corporation filing for Sunday to Sunday is the only independent and reliable reference, and doesn't indicate notability in any way, per WP:GNG. The article fails WP:GNG and WP:BLP. -- Radagast3 (talk) 14:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I just got this email from Ironholds - "The fact that a faith group you're heavily involved in writes about you means jack shit; it's a faith group you're heavily involved in." - So I guess I will add additional independent references. Thank you everyone for your help. Averycnesbitt 70.11.18.83 (talk) 20:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you got that email Avery. But remember that editing articles about yourself is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia - see Autobiography. StAnselm (talk) 21:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Mr. Nesbitt, I'm sure you are a good person and do important work, but since the world at large has not taken independent note of you (at least not according to anything I can find on Google), we can't keep the article here. Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, an important resource for millions of people, and it has to maintain standards to keep it from becoming a hodge-podge where anyone can post anything. BTW I'm really sorry you got that e-mail. That was totally inappropriate. Good luck with your work. --MelanieN (talk) 01:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
