• Keep This article is tagged for deletion as part of an ongoing edit dispute and COI dispute on the Fellowship of Friends page, it's deletion should be viewed as vandalismWantthetruth? 17:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  
• Keep After reading the article on Fellowship of Friends, which purports to have "60 centers" in 40 different nations, I think that calling him the "founder of a church in California" is like calling Ray Kroc "a guy who opened a restaurant in Illinois" Mandsford 19:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - There's no secondary sources that point to any notability distinct from the FoF. There's nothing in this article that warrants it being separate from Fellowship of Friends. Torc2 19:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge to Fellowship of Friends. The church is notable, but based on the lack of refernces, Burton isn't. Crazysuit 21:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge to the FOF article - He is the founder of the Fellowshipof Friends, he can deserve his own article, but a new article would mean more places where the same things could be discussed; a single article is enough. Baby Dove 06:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Fellowship of Friends per Crazysuit. --Slarti (1992) 15:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Burton has done one thing of note in his life, starting a church, including publishing church doctrine. The church's article already includes biographical info on this person and the same external links as his bio. Read that article and see if it makes sense to have a separate article for Burton.--Moon Rising 23:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Robert Burton information is already included in the Fellowship of Friends article (the church that he founded). Robertozz 01:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
