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

Non-notable Christian minister. The sources in the article are all tied to him, and a Google search revels no independent third party sources. Also note that the creator appears to have a COI. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable and either autobio or coi. Google has 10 hits, of which 1 is a wedding he presided over and 4 are book signings.  JCutter (talk) 02:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC) and again at 06:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Google News shows some reasonable hits for him. Article does need cleanup and NPOV-treatment, but subject appears likely to pass WP:AUTHOR. COI is not a valid deletion rationale. Jclemens (talk) 05:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Which of those do you consider reasonable? I see quite some trivial mentions. - Mgm|(talk) 10:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Some one needs to wikify this article. I suspect that this will show it to be a Weak Keep.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Question as Mgm the sources that Google News turned up were trivial mention, either statements that he was speaking at a conference, or what appear to be promotional pieces for his book. If someone can show me sources that are not of this nature I will gladly withdraw the nomination. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. I will be switching to delete after looking into those a bit more. Tim  meh  !  01:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per my above comment. The sources mentioned by Jclemens only mention Stanford trivially. Tim  meh  !  01:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
