Article doesn't really establish notability, but it seems marginal for a speedy deletion. Can't find decent non-autobiographical sources to verify most of the information in the page. Author has left Wikipedia and so is unreachable for debate.

 * Weak Keep I would reduce this to a stub to avoid a copyright violation of his bio at biblelandmission.org (which is what this text basically is). He actually appears moderately notable - he has given talks all over the world (you can see that on various websites) and appears to be sort of a homegrown missionary/evangelical/Nostradamus. The problem is finding any independent sources on him - going to be tough. Brianyoumans 21:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep worth stubbifying and rewriting, if independent sources ca be found .There should be articles in the appropriate specialized magazines.
 * I just got a chance to do a Lexis-Nexis news search; there are a few references in the Times-Picayune, but mostly as announcements. I'm going to do a magazine search later on this week.  Should probably have done a more complete job before nominating the article.  Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 07:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
