Chuck Missler
This article has been previously proposed for deletion.
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Missler is less than credible, but then so is Uri Geller, and there's a Wikipedia page on him. Both can claim to be public figures; both are published authors. A neutral point-of-view page providing fair warning about Missler, unaccredited universities and so on does Wikipedia readers a service. (I'm interested because I'm currently debating deletion of Wikipedia's SWANsat page -- Missler signed off on Welty's SWANsat "PhD" dissertation, despite having no expertise in communications research - the unaccredited and entirely bogus Louisiana Baptist University strikes again.)

 * Weak delete requires a secondary reference to substantiate notability. Addhoc 13:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quick check on Google reveals 85,600 hits, most of which are relevant.  The article is written fairly well, contains sources, and suggests some degree of notability.  Was this recommended for deletion because he runs an unaccredited institute?  I don't get the point of this nomination.  RFerreira 08:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable author.--Tdl1060 16:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep - he is an extremely well-known author. Go to amazon.com and key in "Chuck Missler" - he has plenty of books.  His theology is a bit out there (Bible codes, UFOs), but that doesn't matter as far as his notability.  BigDT 18:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep actually, as a nomination made by a banned user. Take a look at article history.  The AFD tag was added by a mostly vandalism AOL user and the "2" was added by an impersonator of admin Tony Sidaway.  Given that the impostor's edit was four minutes after the IP added the AFD tag, I think it's reasonable to assume that the two are one in the same.  Thus, speedy keep as a nomination made by a banned user. BigDT 18:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
