Washington Gladden
Entire article reads "Washington Gladden was a pastor in Ohio during the Social Gospel movement." Not enough evidence of notability. --Lee Hunter 00:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * He's apparently notable enough to get an entry in the Columbia encyclopedia. The article seems to indicate enough notability, but I don't know enough about the guy to rewrite an article that short without having it border on copyvio. Keep and tag for expansion.

 * Keep per Meelar. Kappa 00:31, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand also mentioned in the Cambridge History of English and American Literature and had an article in the 1911 Britannica . I will have a go at expanding it myself if necessary. Capitalistroadster 01:03, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good catch, Meelar.  Quale 01:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
