Non-notable preacher not meeting WP:GNG or WP:BIO. The organizations he leads likewise don't meet the notabililty guidelines, receiving no applicable coverage under WP:GNG. Largoplazo (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete fails to have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The article currently has only two references One cites a local article that does not mention him, just his wife, and does not support the inline text. The other is a non-independt reference, being a citation to the homepage of his own Firebrand School of Ministry website. Most of his hits on Google are not independent (Facebook, Youtube, Instgram, Amazon, his church, etc.), or press releases.  I did find two news stories centered on him. One appeared in the Nairobi News, basically a police report on him being "attacked by youths after he visited a voter registration centre" in the Mathare slums of Nairobi. I should note that notability is not inherited, and being the son of a former member of parliament (Bishop Margaret Wanjiru) does not confer notability. The second was a 2017 story about him entitled "Inspiration Friday" published in 2017 on ghafla, a Kenyan news site, here.  But a single substantive story does not create notability. --Bejnar (talk) 05:38, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
