 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. His wife Elizabeth Prophet is definitely notable as founder of a notable New Age religious movement (Church Universal and Triumphant), which is discussed in the literature (see e.g., , , , etc.) Now, is he independently notable? While he is not as well known as her, I think the answer is yes. He started what evolved into the CUT–she assumed the leadership upon his death–so is an important part of the history of that movement, and scholarly accounts of the movement usually discuss his role.

 * Redirect to Church Universal and Triumphant. He was an important part of its history, but that doesn't justify having a separate article about him. --Michig (talk) 07:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
