A classic example of failing WP:BLP1E - the subject is not notable for anything apart from this event. StAnselm (talk) 02:08, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * This may have been nominated as a result of my raising it at the closely related Articles for deletion/East Waynesville Baptist Church. I would suggest these two articles be considered jointly. If one is kept, the other could well be retained as a redirect to that target page. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:31, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete He was a pastor of a church of about 100 members who received some attention for his method of making a stand about how he felt about the moral positions of political candidates. It was clearly one event. It is also not very good coverage, considering that the article states that there was allegedly a recording of what he said. Either what Chandler said was or was not recorded, such poor wording suggests less than notable level coverage. I would also advocate deleting the article on the congregation he lead, unless people can find sources covering that congregation from its organization to dispersal or current functioning, sources in the article do not make it clear it still exists slightly more than 10 years after the incident in question, it might, but we need more sources to justify the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:49, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, the article doesn't mention the audio recording any more - I removed it since it was not supported by the cited source. StAnselm (talk) 03:03, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * What do you think of the BLP1E issue? Is there significant coverage outside of that event? StAnselm (talk) 10:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge into the main article at East Waynesville Baptist Church. I could see a Weak Keep is there was more evidence on his impact onto the larger evangelical movement as a whole or other situations impacted by his actions. South Nashua (talk) 18:56, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. He used up seven minutes of his 15 minutes of fame. Bearian (talk) 21:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the church, because he was its pastor for a while.  DGG ( talk ) 00:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * As nominator, I have no problem with redirecting. StAnselm (talk) 00:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to the church.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:32, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Possibly Redirect to church, but both this and the church article have the feel of COATRACK articles from a Presidential election 12 years ago. I suspect that the church article ought also to be deleted.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
