Removed 'critiques' of Furtick, due to lack of legitimate sourcing. Both sources referenced base their critiques on generalizations and assumptions, lacking proof and reason. One was a defamatory fake Twitter account that uses the platform as an attempt to damage the character of the Pastor. The blog referenced is unsubstantiated in its claims of Furtick. Other critiques of 'famous' Pastor's ([[Pastor Craig Groeschel]], [[Pastor Mark Driscoll]], [[Pastor Rob Bell]]) don't reference similar trivial critiques aimed at this type of character damage. |

Criticism
I added a few lines with links to critiques of Furtick. Given his fame, and given that other wiki pages about famous pastors (Bell, McClaren, Driscoll, etc), I think this is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.223.50.242 (talk) 15:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Deletion?
this article should not be deleted for the following reasons: - Pastor Steven Furtick is in fact a notable figure. He pastors the second fastest growing church in the country, Elevation Church, which already has a wiki entry. Giving Furtick his own wiki entry gives more context and reference to this existing information about Elevation Church. The church has been mentioned in many publications including: Outreach Magazine, Church Executive, the Charlotte Observer, Collide Magazine, Church Solutions, The Christian Post. He is one of the American churches leading young voices and has spoken at numerous conferences and events around the country.
- Also, he is a notable figure by having similar influence to that of other pastors with their own wiki pages: Pastor Craig Groeschel, Pastor Rob Bell, and Pastor Andy Stanley.
If these are not sufficient reasons, please let me know what to do in order to give further credibility. Thank you.
