Doesn't appear to be notable. I can't find more than trivial mentions in reliable sources; this is about as close as it seems to get. Benny White (talk) 03:03, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep The google search above generates a lot of results at, which seems to be an WP:RS. See and .-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:11, 27 August 2019 (UTC)


 * True, there are a lot of Christianity Today mentions. CT doesn't appear on WP:RSP (positively or negatively), and I'm not sure it's quite neutral enough to be the main source that establishes Chapell as notable. This article implies he's a religious leader, but the author says "I know Bryan best [out of PCA leaders]", which adds to my neutrality questions.


 * Thoughts, anyone? Benny White (talk) 01:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have never seen WP:RSP. I just went to the about on the CT website. They have an editorial process. Until it is determined otherwise, I will assume that these professional editors are sufficient to confer WP:RS status.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:41, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Fair enough. Still, I'm seeing mainly primary sources (like theology articles written by Chapell, or the aforementioned interview) in these results, while WP:GNG calls for secondary sources for notability. is a bit more secondary but doesn't have much encyclopedic info either. Not yet seeing "significant coverage" from CT. Benny White (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - I don't see anything here to establish notability - no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources - no book reviews - Epinoia (talk) 02:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
