Dr. I.V. Hilliard
Reverend Hilliard, although apparently truly annointed, also appears to be nn. Fails WP:BIO. Eusebeus 18:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete First of all, I fail to see why Google is a poor source for information on African American evangelists specifically, and therefore should not be trusted in this case. Secondly, though Hilliard does have one published book, it appears to be out of print with no comments and no reviews on Amazon.com.  Seems non-notable to me. Danaman5 18:42, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. If everything in the article was true (and not inflated) he would have a large presence on the internet, I would think. This is complete vanity and probably non-notable. Grand  master  ka  19:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Very Weak keep due to having a book published by a non-vanity press (Nelson Ignite, which is part of Thomas Nelson) Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:34, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Grandmasterka. Kuzaar 00:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep If the size of the churches and the presence on television can be verified, otherwise weak delete. JoshuaZ 02:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, can't verify its contents. I may change vote if there are solid references. -- ReyBrujo 22:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have fixed the poor language on this article. The only references I could find were from the website of his ministry itself, but I put them in anyway.  My vote still stands, because the fact that I couldn't find any other references says to me that he is non-notable.  However, please re-judge the article's merits if you feel it necessary. --Danaman5 00:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. If kept, move to Ira Van Hillard per WP:MOS. Stifle (talk) 00:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the article's assertions regarding TV. -- JJay 02:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
