 * Weak Keep I contested the PROD because the lists of published books seemed extensive, if not notable, and deserved a closer look via AfD. I was neutral at the time, having not really looked that deeply into the man. After doing some searching, Google News pops up an article on one of his books (full disclosure: he writes a column for the same publication) .  There also seem to be several articles in relation to his activities surrounding LGBTQ groups in the Charlotte, NC area see, , .  He seems to scrape by WP:GNG, which is why I am !voting weak keep.

 * Keep There appear to be several articles about his involvement in and departure from the Brownsville Revival; see Talk page. His 2010 commentary on Jeremiah in The Expositor's Bible Commentary series is a significant contribution that should have some assessment in academic sources. Because of his prominence in Messianic Judaism there should be some rabbinic reaction. SBaker43 (talk) 01:42, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Week Keep His notability is far less than other conservative religious leaders, but he has enough notariety to be listed among the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Files and was highlighted in a September 2012 article "30 New Activists Heading Up the Radical Right." http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2012/summer/30-to-watch http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/michael-brown
