[edit] Bishop Doss
Contested prod. Essentially an autobiography, no real notability asserted, certainly nothing that suggests notability guidelines are met. Paulbrock (talk) 20:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator, I'm not sure but this might be possible to speedy delete. coccyx bloccyx(toccyx) 20:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Cleanup and move to Joe Morris Doss. He's a bishop, which pretty much infers automatic notability. Furthermore, his diocese represented 64000 people, and he's received extensive news coverage, e.g. this article in the New York Times. Pburka (talk) 23:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep & rename per Pburka. Also, see Google News and Google Books for other possible sources. Jakew (talk) 19:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. I admit to searching only under "Bishop Doss", so missed the references cited. Am I right in thinking a lot of the significant coverage is over his resignation though? Maybe the events surrounding that are notable.... Paulbrock (talk) 19:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
