Article does not meet Notability Guidelines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability) This article is about a guy with a personal vendetta against a church, and added this article just to inflate a non-issue. Oh and he happens to be a lawyer so he thinks he's somebody.JustGoAway (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep — Article nominated by an IP, according to the history; user registered to work around the AFD nomination. This violates the spirit of the policy that users must be registered to nominate articles for deletion. MuZemike (talk) 18:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not finding significant covereage in 3rd party references. No google book hits, only google news hits are a mention in a obit. This wikipedia article is the first hit in a google search, that's rarely a good sign of notability.--Rtphokie (talk) 19:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, wikipedia is practically the first hit for everything that has an article these days, it's scary. cf. [1] [2]. --fvw* 19:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for lack of significant coverage. At best he would be notable for just one event - but I don't think there is evidence even for this. Springnuts (talk) 19:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The subject's claim to notability is unclear; the article doesn't explain it. The supporters of this article would be better off editing this article so that the notable aspects of the subject's career are highlighted; an article half the current length might be preferable. There is also some personal information in the article that may merit removal under WP:BLP. Contrary to the nom, the article doesn't say anything about the subject being a lawyer, and contrary to MuZemike, there is nothing wrong with someone registering in order to complete an AfD nomination. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:28, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Quite apart from the article being badly written (with repeated use of "would", rather than a simple past tense), the whole notability seems to be a minor scandal in a small network of churches. Seems NN to me. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - WP:NOTNEWS, WP:OR, etc. Bearian (talk) 18:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge to Greater Grace World Outreach. Some of this content looks relevant to that organization. JoshuaZ (talk) 03:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
