This one could go either way. I hesitated to AfD it at first, but I couldn't find enough independent coverage in reliable sources to meet the "significant coverage" criteria of the WP:GNG so I'm bringing it here for discussion. William Thweatt TalkContribs 03:29, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi all: I posted this article about Chuck Kelley because I had read his book and then later met someone who collaborated with him at the Lausanne Congress, who was impressed with the recognition that he has in Latvia. He has been awarded the Order of the Three Stars there, which is the equivalent of knighthood, has collaborated with almost every head of state and just about every archbishop and bishop there. But this is my first wiki article, and all the red flags that came up seemed to be formatting issues, which I fixed, but did know whether I was allowed to actually delete the flags themselves. I just hope my poor formatting doesn't reflect poorly on this man and his revered work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Htgoody (talk • contribs) 03:44, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Formatting (or Wikifying as it's sometimes called here) isn't a reason to consider deleting an article. As this is an encyclopedia, we have guidelines for determining whether a subject is notable enough to warrant creating an article. Notability, under the General Notability Guidelines, requires "significant coverage" in "independent" secondary or tertiary reliable sources. There are also Subject Specific Notability guidelines. The discussion here will be whether or not the subject of this article meets the criteria for having a stand-alone article based on WP's guidelines.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 04:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Receiving the Order of the Three Stars would make him notable. If there is not significant coverage in English language sources, there certainly will be in Latvian. I have added another citation to this statement, since the link on the other one wasn't working. StAnselm (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep -- I am unfamiliar with the issues, but think that in several different respects he comes near the limits of notability and adding these together pushes him above the border line. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:51, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
