John North (author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable evangelist. PROD was contested at WP:REFUND but the request doesn't include evidence of notability and indicates the article was written to promote the subject, which is also pretty clear from the text.  Hut 8.5  09:00, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Self-promotion by an apparently non-notable bible teacher (the mugshot was uploaded by with the edit summary "My photo, which I am releasing into the public domain"). It's a common name, so searching for sources is not straightforward; there appears to be a Sydney judge of the same name, for example. It's possible that it was this person who spoke to 100 people in a Tiny town with a quiet family-oriented feel in New Zealand in 2011.
 * Note to admin(s): the first six revisions of the page, until it was hijacked by BadDude, probably belong to the history of John North (Trinity). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:05, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I suspect that "my photo" might mean "a photo I took" rather than "a photo of me", which would mean it's an associate of the subject rather than the subject himself.  Hut 8.5  14:45, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, that too is possible/plausible, . Perhaps can clarify? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:42, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can find insufficient sources to indicate that the subject of this biography meets WP:BIO.  Deli nk (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. Acnetj (talk) 19:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search found nothing of substance. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:51, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I thought I recalled that Ambassadors for Christ was an organisation of which I had heard, but I find that there is no WP article on it. Searching the internet led me to Ambassadors for Christ International - US based in Houston, and a few other websites including this Australian one and this page, which does at least verify North's involvement with them.  However I am doubtful whether we can have an article on their Australian leader when we do not have an article on the whole organisation.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:39, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
