[edit] David Vicary

David Vicary (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears non-notable with no independent third-party sources reporting on him - he's simply the pastor of a church in Perth, Western Australia. Orderinchaos 17:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Orderinchaos 17:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No independent sources beyond a directory and I couldn't find any using Google (which turned up few hits anyway) besides a couple of short mentions on anti-cult websites. CIreland 20:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep He is the leader of the Potter's House Fellowship in Australia as well as a pastor in Perth. — 218.214.37.212 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:52, May 21, 2007 (UTC).
• Strong Delete and SALT By looking at the contribs and talk history for the above unsigned comment, you can see it's come from a Single-purpose account which is bad enough, so it's been tagged as such. As for the article itself, it doesn't meet the notability requirement, contains no verifiable sources, and to be perfectly honest - Wikipedia is not a Soapbox. This is not withstanding the fact the original article was created by user Potters house, which is just clearly breaching conflict of interest. Seriously, this is a clear candidate for CSD A7 and G11, and i'd be applying the tags there right now if the AfD process wasn't so badly needed to deal with problems like this.

• Delete Clearly does not meet Wikipedia's biographic notability standard and it would be impossible to find non-church-sourced information about him. Zivko85 12:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - the Potter's House Christian Fellowship is a notable pentecostal movement in America, led by T.D. Jakes; however, I don't think there's any need to keep this article unless more sources can be found; it can be summarised on the Potter's House article in one sentence noting that a branch exists in Australia led by this guy. There's no need to protect the page from recreation, Thewinchester - I'm sure that deletion will get across the point well enough. JRG 23:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

There's actually an entire article on Potter's House Christian Fellowship Australia - we're not debating the notability of the church, but of the leader (i.e. one man) of one particular congregation. Orderinchaos 00:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

That's exactly what I said. I don't think this article should be kept. JRG 13:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, sorry - blame assignment related stress. :) Orderinchaos 14:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I completely understand :-) JRG 08:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
