[edit] Bernice Albertine King
This is the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., but the article doesn't assert anything to make her notable in her own right. Googling for "Bernice Albertine King" gives 77 results, and many of them are Wikipedia and mirror pages. Coffee 17:32, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Martin Luther King, Jr. or maybe Coretta Scott King if someone can verify the gay rights thing (there's no information in the article on Coretta Scott King about this). -Aranel ("Sarah") 18:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. Bernice King has published a book which has received a review in USA Today and is a minister. She was also cited by Ebony Magazine as a "Ten of Tomorrow. [1] Capitalistroadster 02:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: "the gay rights thing" is true (I read a NY Times article on it). She is a driving force in conservative Christianity in the US. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 03:13, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Have expanded the article. The gay marriage march is verifiable - I have attached references from MSNBC and the San Francisco Chronicle about it. Apparently, the church where she preaches has 25000 members so that is notable especially when some of her sermons have been published. No change of vote from keep.

PS. Article should be renamed Bernice King after conclusion of vfd. Capitalistroadster 10:37, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as expanded. Hall Monitor 20:44, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I have heard of her before and she is more notable that many of the people who get articles here. --Alabamaboy 23:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
