Redirect to Liberian general election, 2005#Presidential candidates. Not notable, so redirect to the appropriate office. Information in article can be merged there. Ray^Talk 14:08, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable as religious leader and as the subject of several references from reliable sources. Controversially participated in a delegation to Washington to improve Liberia's image in 1986 when Doe was in power. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Notable as candidate for president in a national election. There was significant coverage of his campaign on allafrica.com, as well as here [1]. Tzu Zha Men (talk) 21:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously, as a presidential candidate and a bishop. Our coverage of Africa is embarrassingly lacking, so why on earth should we delete an article on a subject whose equivalent in any Western country wouldn't for a second be considered for deletion.
