 * Keep. Sources more than "barely even" menton him. He dressed up as a rapping Santa, as described in Yo! Church Uses Pimped Out Santa On Rap Video. He is the only person quoted in Communities of Faith: Hey, egg hunters, look out below! and Easter eggs to rain from sky in Canton event. Is he a leading theological thinker? The references don't tell us that. Have reliable sources talked about him at length? Yes, so he's notable. --Eastmain (talk) 20:34, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - References seem to refer more specifically to the subject's church, rather than the subject himself, and would do better as establishing the notability of the church than the pastor. The pastor himself, however, while quoted, is not apparently a significant subject of the references. John Carter (talk) 20:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * With some regret, Delete. The pastor of a NN church is almost certainly NN too.  It would be great if there could be more articles on notable churches, but the current view is that most are NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, a few mentions in novelty articles do not constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (emphasis mine), and there is nothing there which can be used as the basis for a biographical article anyway. --Stormie (talk) 01:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The references also argue in favor of the notability of the church, which means the argument "The pastor of a NN church is almost certainly NN too." doesn't apply here. --Eastmain (talk) 02:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
