Notability, and third party sources for facts presented here fail to establish notability βcommand 12:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A 30+ page chapter on him in a book I added, The Preachers (plus the page in the other book and miscellaneous googlable refs) is quite enough to prove notability.John Z (talk) 12:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Third party sources establish notability.  Edward321 (talk) 13:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish his notability per Notability_(people). Kristen Eriksen (talk) 21:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - reliable secondary coverage seems a little limited, but just sufficient to meet the requirements of WP:N. The assertion of notability is the "nationally known" status - this is not specifically referenced in the article but 30 pages of coverage in "The Preachers" would seem to support it. This would also suggest adherence with the biographical notability guideline re making "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". I appreciate this reference was not included when the article was originally nominated - in conjunction with the other refs the current form of the article seems worth keeping even if the earlier version did not.
