[edit] Shawn Annis

Shawn Annis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This has been tried as a CSD and a prod, and on both occasions the tag was removed with little or no addition of notability-related material. Essentially, we're dealing with an article which was written by the subject and is about someone who appears to be a run-of-the-mill evangelist. I don't doubt that he's doing good works, just that he's notable. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Articles subject seems to mostly fail WP:BIO. Tarret 00:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see, really, even an assertion of notability. Google comes up with a few appearances (and a few genealogy sites) but not much else. And the article itself is dreadful: promotional, NPOV, possibly vanity COI. Fan-1967 00:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree about the lack of an assertion of notability - that was what I'd speedied it for. Turns out it had been prodded for much the same thing, so when the speedy was removed I felt it was time to view it as a "controversial deletion". BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Calling him 'run of the mill' is probably insulting to mills. Encise 00:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Encise
• Keep He has a legitimate National Ministry across Canada. He is also VP for FCF of Canada, a Canada wide sister ministry of Faith Christian Fellowship International with works in 42 Nations of the world.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.163.161.139 (talk • contribs).

• Notability has nothing to do with whether he's legitimate or not. There are tens of thousands of people with a "legitimate ministry". Fan-1967 00:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 00:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• keep Notability is the importance of somebody or something, or the quality that makes somebody or something worth paying attention to. Shawn’s work among Canadian ministries and churches make him notable or worth paying attention to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShawnAnnis (talk • contribs). — ShawnAnnis (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Comment Wikipedia has a definition of Notability that you should read. The problem here is that we do not have any external, third-party Reliable Sources that make Shawn Annis look more notable than thousands of other ministers and evangelists. Most of the article reads like personal accounts and descriptions, possibly autobiographical, rather than sourced, encyclopdedic data. Fan-1967 00:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO, as above. --King Bee 00:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO and this is an advertisement: "Shawn is anointed by God to help you get where you want to go and is available for vision facilitation and strategic planning sessions." OfficeGirl 01:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as borderline ad. Fails WP:BIO in any case. Seraphimblade 02:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per A7 ta-ta Missvain 03:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO criteria. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 06:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and would add it reads like WP:SPAM (advert).SkierRMH 09:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
