Paul Washer

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Biography lacks any independent sources. It relies entirely on the subject himself to prove his own notability. Article was given time to improve, and remains inadequate. Rob (talk) 18:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The subject of the article doesn't seem to be noteworthy, and the article almost reads like a resume. On the other hand, HeartCry Missionary Society may meet notability guidelines, even though most of the google hits I saw didn't reach much beyond the missionary web rings.Vulture19 (talk) 00:05, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep – The article has one RS, and more should be added. His organization probably can establish notability, and sources probably can be found for it. But yes, it needs some re-writing and better sourcing.  TheAE  talk / sign  22:53, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What is the reliable source? The article cites Paul Washer's own writing in three cases, the HeartCry web site in two cases, and in one case it cites an event listing in the The Manhattan Mercury (basically an advertisement).  If the Manhattan Mercury covered the event, or the mission, or Washer, that would count.  But there's no actual coverage.  As far as I can tell, everything that mentions him, comes from him.  --Rob (talk) 01:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per Rob. Doesn't seem to be any RS differentiating him from any other evangelist. I'd like to think there's a place on Wikipedia for this person, but not right now. Spinach Monster (talk) 16:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete a self-promoting minor sensation on the evangelism circuit with just about zero independent coverage. Someday, maybe. Not yet. J L G 4 1 0 4 02:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reliable sources, too much (apparent) self-promotion. B.Wind (talk) 04:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
