Article doesn't really establish notability, but it seems marginal for a speedy deletion. Can't find decent non-autobiographical sources to verify most of the information in the page. Author has left Wikipedia and so is unreachable for debate. Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 18:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I would reduce this to a stub to avoid a copyright violation of his bio at biblelandmission.org (which is what this text basically is). He actually appears moderately notable - he has given talks all over the world (you can see that on various websites) and appears to be sort of a homegrown missionary/evangelical/Nostradamus. The problem is finding any independent sources on him - going to be tough. Brianyoumans 21:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep worth stubbifying and rewriting, if independent sources ca be found .There should be articles in the appropriate specialized magazines.

Trial balloon given the way wp people cant get to libraries or avoid them, material which may take library work should have a loger than 5 day period--perhaps 2 weeks if a general college library will do, perhaps 2 months in cases like this. DGG 07:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I just got a chance to do a Lexis-Nexis news search; there are a few references in the Times-Picayune, but mostly as announcements. I'm going to do a magazine search later on this week. Should probably have done a more complete job before nominating the article. Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 07:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
