Bishop Charles Agyin-Asare

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article's subject "is an apostle of God to the world; a teacher of the gospel to the nations; a prophet to both the world’s rich and poor..." - sorry, but that's a huge red flag for me scanning uncategorized articles. I don't care to read the whole thing but someone needs to check on the notability, and if he is notable, please clean up the introduction and provide references.

 * Delete. I don't care too much for this nomination (which seems unaware of (WP:BEFORE), but I do agree that the subject is not notable--a Google News search finds this, and the hits that I looked at turned out not to pass muster--they are press releases or based on press releases, or they are in sources that aren't all that reliable. The facts claimed in the article would be notable enough, but I have not seen proof of their actuality. Drmies (talk) 20:53, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep -- I know little of his church, but the extent to which he has been honoured (if true) and the title as "bishop" suggests that he is notable. As an ecclesiastic in Ghana, the lack of Ghits may not be surprising.  However the article needs toning down, there is a tag for this, but I forget what it is.

 * Weak Keep The article could definitely be sourced better, and it has some serious tone issues (which I tagged it for), but someone from Ghana isn't likely to produce as many Ghits as someone from the West anyway, and there do seem to be some sources to indicate notability. It would help if someone could actually source the honors in the article, but this seems notable enough to be kept. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:42, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep if revised to eliminate the over-personal unencyclopedic detail & the unsourced opinion. We cannot say, for example "In 1987, by divine instruction, Agyin-Asare started a church", much less "After the commission, he went round the cities and towns, holding miracle campaigns and schools of ministry for leaders and church workers. His gospel campaigns have recorded over 100,000 in a single night, where multitudes of sick and maimed have received their healing."  I know AfD is not a place to discuss article improvements, but this is a case of a radically unsatisfactory article, so promotional as to be close to G11 and to give strong indications of copyvio.  The title of "bishop" is notable for churches with a territorial organization, not for everyone who is called by that title.   DGG ( talk ) 03:00, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - assuming the article's assertions are verifiable, he's notable both for his direct works and for the honours and awards bestowed on him. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
