Dreadfully promotional article about a non-notable individual. The sources used in the article are not independent or reliable: [1] is written by his own organization; the other two references are dead but one is from the site "Fresh Expressions" which Peabody is affiliated with and one is from a Christian music licensing site. A WP:BEFORE search for "Rob Peabody pastor", "Rob Peabody VOMO" etc. only brings up press releases, blogs and non-independent sites. Fails WP:GNG.

Delete - References are entirely lacking, and I can find nothing better. Fails WP:GNG. Hug^syrup 10:08, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I find nothing in WP:RS suggesting notability is met. Article is written in a wholly unencyclopedic manner. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the way it is written, it sounds like coat-rack spam: "the technology that is igniting a volunteer movement" and wording telling people to "join" the website by clicking on a link probably makes this a WP:CSD#G13 candidate. Since I've already !voted, I'll leave that to another set of eyes. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:13, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely agree that it reads like spam, and there's obvious COI editing going on too. I thought about nominating it for speedy deletion, but since it's been around since 2014 I decided to play it safe with AfD. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 06:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
