The main Seventh-day Adventist Church page had the list below added to it. I belongs on this page. I am not a great fan of lists, so I have moved it to this talk page if anybody wants to sort it. My view is that many of the names on the list have very tenuous connections to Seventh-day Adventism, and there are usually very few reputable references to support. The inclusion of names like Charmaine, who I know is an Adventist is great, but there isn't a page on her! -Fermion 21:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a fan either...and interesting on Charmaine. --Maniwar (talk) 04:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Verification

I'm going through and adding {{fact}} to these because many of these have been slated to be, yet where is the evidence? I've often heard Prince was, but I read an article years ago where he said he was not. So, little by little I will be tagging some of these on the main page. --Maniwar (talk) 13:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see that all are well sourced. Guess I was premature in my warnings. he he he --Maniwar (talk) 13:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Guess we could throw Yolanda Adams and David Lewis into this mix. --Maniwar (talk) 04:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If the criteria are open enough that anyone who had an Adventist family member, then this list could get quite large. A narrow definition needs to be used to verify each instance so that page is not laughable. Ansell 08:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I second that motion. Just because someone had an aunt or grandmother and were raised by them does not make them an SDA. I would want to make it specific to that person specifically, themselves being an Adventist. --Maniwar (talk) 13:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prince

Prince was raised in an SDA family, although he is no longer with the church. I've added the appropriate references to his entry here at Wikipedia and added him to the "List of Seventh-day Adventists"

Removed George Boakye Asiamah from post

I removed this entry because I could not come up with one google entry. Also, I've never heard of him, nor could I find anything at adventistbookcenter dot org, or at adventist dot org, or yahoo dot come, or dogpile dot com, or msn dot com, or aol dot com. Therefor, I think that justifies removing him. --Maniwar (talk)

Sources

Here are some sites which provide some names. They are not reliable sources, being a blog and a web page at current. However they give ideas which could be added if reliable citations are provided. We need to police this strictly, per the policy regarding living persons. Feel free to add other sources. Colin MacLaurin 14:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Phife Dawg

The link provided indicates that only his grandmother was an Adventist. I don't see any evidence to indicate that he himself is or ever has been an Adventist. I think unless such evidence is available elsewhere the name should probably be removed, probably as a result of BLP policy. John Carter 20:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Verify sources

Many names were removed in this edit. Please find reliable sources for them, then replace. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 04:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page was reverted to the version linked to above, 5.5 hours ago, with no reason given. I reverted it back. Please supply a reference before adding anyone. It is probably alright if the person has an article already and it is referenced in there. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 06:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Desmond Ford

Desmond Ford is still a seventh-day adventist, he wasn't disfellowshipped. I can't think of any sources right now but he considers himself an adventist and William Johnson on the John Ankerberg Show said that Desmond Ford was never disfellowshipped.
