The result was delete. Sourcing hasn't been shown to be available, and the keep opinions rely on a presumption of notability rather than evidence of notability &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:39, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Tinu George

The televangelist does not meet WP:BASIC. Source searches are providing no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. North America1000 13:03, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Tinu George is the Senior head of 251 churches worldwide, have significant coverage in independent while searches. And wikipedia allows Religious Biography pages. So this article should be in Wikipedia.
 * Probably keep -- If he really is head of 251 churches, he has a status similar to a bishop and certainly should be kept. As I do not watch Indian TV I cannot judge his prominence as a tele-evangelist.  This is a poorly presented article and needs verification, but the lack of that is no reason for deletion.

 * Did you find any independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage? I looked, and none appears to exist. Notability is based upon said coverage, rather than the subject's position in a religious group. North America1000 00:09, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately I do not read or speak the Malayam language, which I suspect would be necessary if I were to find sources. English is the official language of India, but far from the only one.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:01, 3 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep a significant Pentecostal leader. Unless someone can demostate there are no good Malayam sources we should keep the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:05, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment – AfD discussions typically work in the opposite manner, in which sources should be provided to qualify article retention. Several web searches, including custom searches, have provided no significant coverage about the subject at all. In other words, Malayam sources need to be provided here for the article to be retained, rather than proof of a lack of them for the article to be deleted, unless of course this discussion is closed per a simple !vote count, rather than actual guidelines. Religious leaders do not get a free pass for an article without said coverage, because there is no guideline or policy that allows such presumed notability for religious subjects.

 * Delete I can't find any independent English sources, and doubt there are Malayalam ones. I can't even find the "251 churches" claim in his own sources. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 17:52, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
