Reliable Sources and Notability GhtheANg (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article was recommended for deletion on the BLP Talk Board. The sources which are relied upon for Notability are sourced from the subject or organizations directly affiliated with him. Sources that are independent of the subject only mention him briefly, failing to meet the standard of "significant coverage". Additionally, the page's neutrality is disputed.

Keep per WP:PROF #1. The claim in the article that Breen "pioneered missional communities as a ministry model" is in fact true, as shown by this source. StAnselm (talk) 16:28, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a particular reason you're applying the academic standards? His writing and work is non-academic. Screenmutt (talk) 17:13, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Google Scholar shows that his books have had a lot of citations. I see in the article that he "began working on his Ph.D" - so at least adjacent to academic work. St Anselm (talk) 17:41, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as a bad-faith nomination by a now-blocked WP:SPA and WP:SOCK. --MuZemike 17:36, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as this discussion was started by a sockpuppet, and nobody else has supported deletion. I haven't checked for notability, so this is without prejudice to any further discussion started by an editor in good standing. Phil Bridger (talk) 06:58, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
