[edit] Jeff Lindsay

This person is not notable enough for a Wikipedia entry. --Riley 19:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete You seem to be correct. Alexa rank for his official website is 198,116. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Research turns up nothing more. Aguerriero (talk) 18:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete clearly a vanity page. -- DrunkenSmurf 19:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep it I'm new to Wikipedia, but I think the article should stay. "There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia. ... Borderline cases are frequently nominated for deletion and discussed on WP:AFD. Lack of fame is not the same as vanity." This article was written by one who is completely unknown to Jeff Lindsay (by his own admission). I myself have never spoken Mr. Lindsay. I do know, however, that Jeff Lindsay's work with regards to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is known to thousands of people. Many people, not just members of the LDS Church, use his work which is indexed at his site. He has several standing articles listed on LDS.org as well. I often find myself discussing Mr. Lindsay and his work on a weekly bases. I believe he is notable enough to deserve an article. He has been spoken about even by high members of the Mormon Church and has held the office of Bishop within the LDS Church, himself. I’ll agree with anyone who says that the article should be expanded, but to delete it would be wrong as well. If this is incorrect, or if I have stepped over my stewardship, then I apologize and figure this will get deleted, but I say expand the article and allow it to stay, or maybe move it to an appropriate LDS page? In fact, Mr. Lindsay is probably the most well known one man website apologetic.
