Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Normal Bob Smith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bob encourages debate on a wide range of theological issues--and it's possible to read his page and solidify or modify your religious beliefs. Shameless self-promoter? On what scale? He put up his own page, lets people come to him with their emails, and posts them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.177.12.215 (talk • contribs) 03:02, September 2, 2006 (UTC)

Jesus Dressup and other features on the Normal Bob Smith site have served as a focal point for debate on the wider issues of religion, atheism, morality, and censorship. It is culturally relevant, and its deletion is unwarranted.


"NormalBobSmith.com is a fabulous site. Normal Bob Smith is a beautiful writer and a great artist, and he does the Jesus Dress Up magnets, which I have a set of in my home." Penn Jillette, PennRadio.com, Mar. 28th, 2006

[edit] Bob Smith

Bob is a remarkable person with a remarkable website. He offers a humoristic view on religion and atheism and promotes discussion about these subjects.

Deletion would definitely be wrong. Bob deserves to be on Wikipedia.
