PROD removed. Insufficient reliable sources to establish encyclopedic fit of an individual's biography. Sources simply establish that he exists. tedder (talk) 22:32, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment -- seems to be a much loved (but NN) retired pastor of a church that is presumably also NN, as there is no link to an article on it. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete maybe a loved pastor, but not an encyclopedic entry. Now, please forgive me pastor for I have voted for deletion... History2007 (talk) 20:21, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

 * This is a strange request from such an experienced editor as yourself. Withdrawing the nomination wouldn't close the deletion debate since someone else has voted "delete". You are, however, welcome to vote "keep". StAnselm (talk) 01:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Easily satisfies WP:GNG based on Google books search.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:44, 18 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable, failing WP:AUTHOR. --Ifnord (talk) 03:38, 18 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. A Google search indicates that Weber has been a speaker at Christian men's events throughout the United States.  I wasn't able to find publication numbers that I was sure I could trust, but there are enough references to his Tender Warrior as "popular" or as "best-selling" to persuade me that it sold fairly well.  (The "Publisher's Description" at Christianbook.com claims that over 365,000 copies have been sold.)  Weber and his  works, notably TW, are cited at some length in several academic studies of the Promise Keepers and of the Christian men's movement generally, e.g. this article in Social Thought and Research, and this and this in Sociology of Religion (the journal, not the Weber book).  I think there's been enough coverage, both in and outside of the Christian press, to satisfy WP:GNG.  Ammodramus (talk) 03:56, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per multiple gbooks hits, satisfies GNG. Cavarrone (talk) 06:59, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
