W. A. Draves
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable religious leader. The refs given are either autobiographical or associated with his church, and apart from more stuff from his church and this blog post which isn't even SIGCOV of Draves, I couldn't find anything else. No substantive arguments were made at the 2004 VfD either. schetm (talk) 05:07, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect with option to merge to Church of Christ with the Elijah Message. The article contains no independent references, and my searching isn't finding anything better. The article for the church would be a more appropriate place to briefly discuss him, and it indeed already has some information about him. I would redirect this article there, and any additional information can be merged out of the history if necessary. (In my humble opinion, there isn't too much worth saving here.)

 * Redirect as above, with option to merge from the page history if reliable sources can be found, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment -- This appears to be about the leader of a splinter from a splinter of the LDS movement. I do not normally comment on LDS issues.  The splinter appears to be a denomination which once had a membership of 12500 (no recent data).  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:36, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
