 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: can we have some discussion of sources please?
 * Keep per GNG. Perhaps I read and hear about Gibson more, living in Portland, Oregon, but I think there is plenty of secondary coverage and Wikipedia articles linking to this one to justify a standalone article. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:57, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Patriot Prayer Article doesn't really contain much information. JDDJS (talk) 20:03, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Doesn't mean there isn't enough secondary coverage to expand the article... --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:45, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Lean Keep, he's received a large amount of coverage and is basically the face of the pro-Trump movement in the Northwest, but I think it definitely could use expansion. MB298 (talk) 20:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep -- plenty of secondary coverage.--IndyNotes (talk) 18:42, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – meets several WP:GNG criteria. There are several in-depth articles regarding him from reliable quality sources (herehereherehereand here) that are independent of the subject. The sources are non-trivial and describe his political activism in=depth. He certainly does not meet BLP1E criteria as the nom states.  CookieMonster755 ✉  16:44, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete We lack the level of indepth coverage we would need to give adequate coverage to a living individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:19, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Easily passes GNG, as demonstrated by the list of sources presented by COOOOOOOOOOO-KEEEEEE!Monster... Carrite (talk) 14:16, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I think the sources provided by CookieMonster755 above clearly contained substantial coverage. This and sources above as well as the sources already in the article will be useful for expansion. –Ammarpad (talk) 18:19, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Patriot Prayer, following the spirit if not letter of WP:BIO1E (in this case the 'event' is an organization). While Gibson has received coverage as the leader of the group, his notability appears to stem entirely from it. His personal views are directly relevant to the organization, and he appears to be featured in most articles about the group, so it makes sense to discuss both in one article. Simply if something meets the definition of WP:GNG, we are not bound to create a stand alone article. A similar case (a group leader gaining coverage for his group) ended with merge, see Articles for deletion/Ryan Fournier. Notable people with even international coverage can still not warrant a stand-alone article, e.g. Ahmed Mohamed (student) redirects to Ahmed Mohamed clock incident, the sole reason he became newsworthy. --Animalparty!
