- (Find sources: "Gospel of success" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images)
This stub article is a clear POV-fork of prosperity theology, and is little more than a WP:coatrack for commentry by a single theologian on another named individual. Contrary to the (unreferenced) claim in the first paragraph, the phrase 'gospel of success' is hardly used in the media (Google news appears not to find it at all for example [1]). There is no evidence provided to demonstrate that the concept, as defined in the article (as opposed to a synonym for prosperity theology and the like) has any notability whatsoever, and accordingly the article should be deleted.

Keep. "About 18,700 results" on educational websites alone for "gospel of success" -- at minimum should redirect. Attleboro (talk) 00:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
-
- And can you actually cite any of those sources for a definition of the term that matches the one in the article? Notability is an attribute of an article subject, rather than of a phrase used as a title. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- This is no neologism. Please feel free to adjust the definition, but be sure to note or account for the general negative tone of its uses. Attleboro (talk) 00:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- I will 'note' that you have failed to provide any evidence for a 'general negative tone'. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- In every instance cited, the term "gospel of success" is used with at least regret if not outright condemnation. I think the burden's upon you to show that the gospel of success really is "Christian religious doctrine" as the prosperity theology is presented. Attleboro (talk) 17:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

- redirect WP:POVFORK zero indication that the use of the phrase has any specific connection with the meaning put forth by the editor.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Redirect to prosperity theology. The phrase is used often enough to justify it as a search term (GNews archives has 7 pages of results, GBooks has quite a few as well) but I find no evidence that "gospel of success" is generally understood to mean something distinct from what our existing prosperity theology article is about, or that there is some general understanding that "gospel of success" is always (or even usually) understood to denote a "heresy". WP:DICT is often misused in AfD arguments, but this is an appropriate instance to note its instruction that, "in Wikipedia, things are grouped into articles based on what they are, not what they are called by." In other words, we don't usually need two articles to cover two phrases that refer to the same concept. As it currently exists, this is just a WP:COATRACK for a couple of negative opinions on the topic. Maybe those opinions can be incorporated into the existing discussion in the "theological criticism" section of that article, but not as currently written.--Arxiloxos (talk) 05:40, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Redirect to prosperity theology as above. History2007 (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Agree if "as above" means to a more general criticism section, rather than "the 'theological criticism' section of that article, ... as currently written." Attleboro (talk) 17:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
-
-
- Why? I would have thought that someone talking about "heresy" would pretty clearly be a "theological criticism". --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:55, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Readers vary as to who is qualified to determine heresy. A nonbeliever may not require a notable theologian and accept evidence of mere inconsistency with Christian first principles. A true believer may require more, such as professing faith in those principles. The general and, it seems, negative uses of "gospel of success" seem to come from journalists or social commentary, by theologians or not. Attleboro (talk) 20:40, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- merge with Prosperity theology, but I'm not sure of what should be the title. The present phrase is the one I recognize. DGG ( talk ) 03:09, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

- (Find sources: "Sir Cecil Bisshopp, 10th Baronet" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images)
No assertion of notability. Members of the baronetage are not presumptively notable and the article makes no claims to the contrary. Sir Cecil married, was ordained, and then died at the young age of 28. The article claims that he helped establish Christ Church, Jerusalem but (a) that's not in the linked source, (b) the linked source is simply a list of British people who lived in Malta 1800-1900, and (c) such involvement probably isn't enough to establish a claim of notability. Otherwise the bare biographical details are in Bishopp baronets, and anyone who wants the details of his marriage can consult Debrett's. The article was previously the subject of a WP:PROD, which was rejected by Rudi2004 (talk · contribs), the article's creator. Mackensen (talk) 02:23, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

- Keep Is documented in multiple sources and is therefore notable per WP:BASIC. There seems to be some confusion about the details though as sources such as The Gentleman's Magazine have him as the 9th baronet of that line. But AFD is not cleanup. Warden (talk) 13:26, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- WP:BASIC requires more than simple documentation though. It requires that a person be "the subject" of multiple independent sources and the coverage needs to be "substantial" and not "trivial." Most sources don't get much beyond genealogical detail, which I'd expect for a baronet but that doesn't establish notability. The obituary in the The Gentleman's Magazine, once you cut away the gloss and puffery, doesn't go beyond what you'd find in Debrett's. Mackensen (talk) 21:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Questionable notability and limited scope. Concerns raised during August 2012 PROD have still not been addressed. While I prefer deletion, I would not object to merging with religion in space. W. D. Graham 20:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

- Keep, recommend expansion with examples from Mir and other spaceflights. Fotaun (talk) 20:17, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

- Question Any reason this is up for deletion as opposed to merging with the main ISS article? Sædontalk 20:57, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- It is so trivial that putting anything more than a couple of words into the ISS article would be giving it undue weight compared to the rest of that vast topic. --W. D. Graham 21:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
-
-
- Even so, that parts of the article could be merged I think means this should be a merge discussion first and a deletion discussion second, though I am inclined to agree it is a trivial subject. Sædontalk 21:30, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- keep "Delete because it's too small" is not a good reason for deletion. Notability is already met by sources.
- Expansion to a broader Christmas in space would be a better target for growth than losing it within a myriad minor sections under ISS. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Merge with International space station or Religion in space, unless potential for a substantial expansion can be demonstrated. Sædontalk 21:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Merge into International space station. And why is there a page titled Religion in space? Why not start a page for every single item and practice in space. My vote is for haircuts in space. I think there should be an AFD for that too!MartialArtsLEO (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Keep - celebration not merely religious (though I suppose I could live with a merge to either ISS or religion in space, just not my preference), and adequate sources and notability. The "it's not big enough" argument doesn't fly with me; usually the bandwidth taken in these AfD discussions would be better spent expanding the article in question should there be adequate sources out there to keep it - which there allear to be. Montanabw(talk) 21:58, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. Both Montanabw and Andy Dingly are making straw man arguments. Nobody has suggested that the article should be deleted because of its current size; the question is whether there is enough potential scope beyond simple trivia to expand it into a viable article. In addition, I still question the necessity of an article for this topic in terms of notability and encyclopaedic value; the concept of the article is more sensationalistic than encyclopaedic, and we don't need articles for every little thing that happens on the ISS, simply because it happens on the ISS. --W. D. Graham 22:23, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
-
- A straw man possibly, but it's one that you introduced in the nomination, "Questionable notability and limited scope." Notability is sourced, narrow scope is irrelevant. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:59, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Seems like a local minister who had a minor role in a series but not enough to meet WP:NACTOR, has written some books but not enough to meet WP:AUTHOR, and had a trivial mention in the news but not enough WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:GNG.

- Delete. While I absolutely and most certainly admire him for being an advocate against celebratory gunfire, there just isn't anything out there to show that he passes notability guidelines. The coverage for his activism hasn't really focused on him and there isn't enough of it. None of his roles have received coverage, nor are they so overwhelmingly notable that he'd be able to pass on that front. As far as his books go, none of them have received any in-depth coverage or reviews from RS. There's just no notability here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

- Delete The one ref in the article is not independent and does not satisfy WP:ORG. Wikipedia is not a directory of every church congregation or building or a free yellow pages listing to publicize a church. Few local congregations in the past have survived AFD, so there is clearly no consensus that church congregations or their buildings are inherently notable (like most high schools) and there has not been a general practice of redirecting to the local community or the church denomination articles.

The bottom line is that we have little to no trustworthy information about this character. We only have information about what he "claims" to have done prior to his "born again" phase, and as with Alberto Rivera, Mike Warnke, and John Todd his life story is almost certainly a forgery. Pure speculation and unverifiable autobiographical claims like these are an awfully thin reed upon which to hang any article, especially a BLP. He may be "popular" among certain fundamentalist circles, but that doesn't equal notability, especially because mainstream (i. e., non-fundy) media haven't written much about him from an objective standpoint. So, I say delete. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 16:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
