Talk:Alex Jones (preacher)

This page was proposed for deletion by Chamaemelum (talk · contribs) on 7 July 2023.

i don't think this page should be slated for deletion. Not too sure how i can undo the proposal

Wikipedia is a knowledge sharing platform or the place to go when you want to know information about topical issues. Some years ago, the page about Kojo Sarfo, a pastor and industrialist who has become known in Ghana for his technological innovations including coming out with Ghana's first locally produced vehicle was proposed for deletion. I was too exhausted and shocked to provide a comment. Eventually it was removed. However people who go to wikipedia seeking information about this man are not finding anything on wikipedia. Similarly, Alex Jones is one of the few pentecostal ministers who converted to catholicsm. He also became a known leader that preached in many jurisdiction. People seek more knowledge about him or the subject of conversion and Wikipedia is a good source of information. if we want to dig further to find out more, i understand but i find completely deleting information about them quiet problematic and makes wikipedia less of the place to go seeking information. However, i don't want to push too much. let's discuss with an open mind and take a decision Notallan (talk) 12:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Notallan,

If you believe the subject of the article has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject you should delete the deletion proposal. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. However, primary sources don't contribute to notability.

Here are some more specifics to help you decide if you want to delete the nomination or not:

An individual will often meet notability guidelines if they:

Are the head of a major religion.
Played an important role in a significant religious event which itself received considerable coverage in sources.
Made a material contribution to the philosophy of religion that is indisputably attributed to them.
Were recognized by their peers as an authoritative source on religious matters/writing.

Conversely, brief descriptions in genealogical records or church histories of specific individuals are not considered specific indicators of notability.

You can undo the most recent edit or you can delete the following from the page:

{{Proposed deletion/dated

|concern = Clear lack of notability, only mentioned for the quirk of converting from Pentecostalism to Catholicism. Permanent deacon by the Detroit Archdiocese basically just means his life career is minister. Unreliable sources.

|timestamp = 20230707011629

|nom = Chamaemelum

|help = off

}}

Anyone is allowed to contest the deletion, and if you do so, this permanently shuts down that deletion avenue. I encourage you to try it out if you think this article meets Wikipedia's guidelines! Chamaemelum (talk) 12:50, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you're having trouble undoing the proposal, just tell me you want it to be undone and I'll undo it for you. Chamaemelum (talk) 12:51, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
