[edit] Brian Anderson (pastor)

He does not meet WP:BIO. "Planting churches" might be a notable and important activity to the people who attend those churches, but for the rest of the world it's just not a significant achievement. -IceCreamAntisocial 13:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I suspect he is at least borderline notable, as a regional and international leader of a significant Christian denomination. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete --InShaneee 15:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete He's a mid-level beaurcrat in a loose association of churches. Even the head leader of most Protestant denominations is barely notable, given the decentralized nature of most such organizations and the limited publicity the leader gets.--Prosfilaes 22:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Prosfilaes, there are thousands of people in the world who could fit this profile. WU03 00:49, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Wryspy 19:15, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep A regional pastor and director of a church with a weekly attendance of 10K+ (25K+ plus after facility expansion), influential in the Vineyard movement. J henry waugh 17:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - the article does him no service, lacking independent sourcing that is needed for verifiable notability. BlueValour 02:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - he runs a substantial church and is influential in the Vineyard movement which is itself a significant part of the Evangelical movement. JASpencer 06:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Nn pastor. -- No Guru 18:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete To those who argue his stature in the Vineyard movement, I took a look at Association of Vineyard Churches, There is only one other person on the Board of Directors who has a separate article, and that is due to his notability in his own right as an author. Everyone else is a red link, including the National Director. --Roninbk _{t c #} 23:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Look at this search: [1] 13 hits, one of which is this article. (I didn't want to google just his name because it's far too common). Ultra-Loser ^{Talk Comparison of BitTorrent sites} 05:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
