 * Weak keep Seems to be anthologized in several religious song books, per Gbooks. Article needs a rewrite, but looks like he's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not seeing any significant coverage. The books mentioned by Oaktree b appear to be hymnals which include songs written by him. There didn't seem to be any actual biographical information on Edwards. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:38, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: per nomination. This article don't have any significant coverage, it really looks like promo. ❯❯❯  Chunky aka Al Kashmiri   (✍️) 03:01, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom – I can't find any significant independent coverage, although now I know that there is a (different, i think) Rusty Edwards who serves as a high school principal in Florida. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 04:49, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * hmm, i'm unconvinced by Jahaza's sources – the second is good biographical information, but I'm not seeing that the rest provide similar SIGCOV, or a WP:NAUTHOR pass. Maybe some guarantee notability for his works? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 06:32, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep a couple of his hymns appear to be widely published in hymnals across many denominations and reliable biographical information is available in the companion to Wonder, Love, and Praise: a supplement to the Hymnal 1982. He has an entry in the Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology . The Hymn index 1982-1997 shows a number of relevant article entries. He gets mentioned a couple of places as a notable hymn writer such as here--Jahaza (talk) 05:00, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep per the sources uncovered by Jahaza. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 05:05, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Jahaza. StAnselm (talk) 06:06, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found. I'll note that this isn't me or any relative of mine I know of. Jclemens (talk) 06:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep in view of the reliable sources coverage identified by Jahaza in this discussion so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
