 * Strong keep. Speedy keep if there is such a thing. Vanity? No way. Chuck Smith is one of the most significant figures in the last three decades of American evangelicalism. He was a key figure in the Jesus Movement, and founded the Calvary Chapel denomination. This AfD is rather like someone who never watched Star Trek nominating Leonard Nimoy for being non-notable.

 * Very Strong Keep per David R above. To choose a more appropriate simile, this is like a non-Methodist AfDing John Wesley. :) Tevildo 20:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - he's the founder of a major denomination BigDT 20:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'd love to see this fleshed out a bit. From the article as it stands, he doesn't look terribly notable. Fan1967 21:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * KEEP THIS ARTICLE. His denomination includes over a thousand churches worldwide, from Jerusalem, Israel to Tokyo, Japan, and in betweeen. He is most certainly notable, both regionally, in the evangelical movement, nationally, and internationally. --Jacob ladder 01:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
