 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Agape International Missions. The consensus is that Brewster doesn't have notability outside of the organization, and information on him should be merged into Agape International Missions before redirecting his article to the organization article.

Fails the notability guidelines per WP:BIO. References are primary or self-published sources, or don't mention him at all, except for the Los Angeles Times ref which only names him tangentially. Kelly hi! 13:58, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete--really a puff piece. Good man, no doubt, but not notable per GNG. Drmies (talk) 05:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete there's space for a sentence or two about him near the coverage of Somaly Mam in the article Prostitution in Cambodia. -- Callinus (talk) 14:54, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 *  Keep  Here's a profile in a major daily, South China Morning Post (remember that # of Anglophones in Hong Kong outnumbers the populations of several American states) . Beyond full profiles, coverage of Brewster in major media is often substantive, CNN 2013 : ; CNN] 2011: ; ABC News : . I'm all about sources, and this aid worker has the sourcing  to pass WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect and Merge into Agape International Missions. There is notability here, but as Brewster's claim to notability stems entirely form his mission to rescue and rehabilitate forced sex workers, it makes sense to combine these two articles into a single article.  Another reason to do this, is that many sources describe his wife, Bridget, as co-founder and equal partner in the mission, an aspect that is lost in having an article only on him.  Redirect and merge would make 1 pretty good article out of 2 stubs.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * E.M.Gregory, you appear to have recorded two !votes here. I've provisionally struck the second of these, but please keep/strike whichever is more appropriate. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:15, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Merge I also support a merge with this becoming a redirect. I copied the few sentences here over to the Agape article and put the sources E.M.Gregory found on it's talk page. Now just needs a cleanup and put in the redirect when this closes. Legacypac (talk) 21:45, 15 November 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Sorry. I continue to oppose deletion, and continue to think that a redirect and merge to Agape makes sense. Thanks to User:Legacypac for adding those sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Agape International Missions. His notability is tied to the organization and there is no significant coverage of him as a person or independent of the organization. The little there is on him already exists in almost the same form in Agape International Missions. J bh  Talk  15:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
