I wasn't able to find any reliable, independent sources verifying this information. The claim of 90 million viewers in particular seems improbable, and I couldn't find anything that verified it. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:04, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - To Gateway Church (Texas), making sure the Robert Morris disambiguation page has a link established to that. While there seems to be plenty of Google action for "ROBERT MORRIS" + "GATEWAY CHURCH," my sense is that the megachurch is notable, the pastor maybe not so much. There are "promotional" problems with both articles and both could stand some editorial attention from a dispassionate third party. That's my take, anyway...

Merge to Gateway Church (Texas) per above. St Anselm (talk) 01:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: An older version of the article was merged to the Gateway article per Talk:Robert Morris (pastor)#Merger proposal. St Anselm (talk) 01:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect - To Gateway Church (Texas). Obviously for independent reliable sources reasons this really doesn't make sense to stand on it's own. Recieving article is appropriately sized to take on the merged content. Hasteur (talk) 15:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect per above. Interestingly, the pastor does appear to have some level of coverage according to this Google News Archives search, but upon closer examination, these articles are in reference to the promotion of a different pastor, and Morris is just quoted once or twice about the decision. Because this isn't significant coverage, I'm suggesting this info be merged to the church article. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 19:02, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination. There is a lack of coverage to establish his notability. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 21:11, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
