[edit] Irvin Baxter Jr.

I wrote this page and would like it to be deleted. 24.21.41.119 00:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep but cleanup, looks like it could be worth something. Also check up on "used with permission" - if this is false, delete. -- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 00:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Numerous editors have worked on the article, unlike nominator 24.21.41.119 who has vandalised it. --JJay 01:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it, no grounds for deletion mentioned. If it's a copyvio it needs proof, otherwise the author released the copyright when it was submitted Ziggurat 02:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup as he appears notable enough. Capitalistroadster 02:53, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - the nominator's claim that he created the article is disputed; this apparent honour lies with Aqn238. Rob Church ^{Talk | FAHD} 16:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As usual, no deletion required. Trollderella 17:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, minor nn religious figure. His books are self-published (by his own organization), he gets 668 Google hits as quoted name "irvin baxter". MCB 20:52, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment -- I worked on (partial) cleanup and I want to mention my reasoning. Millenarianism is a topic of serious academic study. Having information about Baxter's books and radio programmes here is going to be useful to people in 50 or 100 years who want to study the forms millenarianism took in our time and need to run down primary sources. The entry needs to be shorter and more factual, and it may reasonably be merged into an article on something more general. I don't think it's 100% cruft, though. TECannon 14:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. BrainyBroad 06:03, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
