A. T. Powers deletion from 2013
I was not informed that the A. T. Powers article which I created c. 2010 was deleted in 2013. There are three incorrect matters in the deletion decision:
(1) "local pastor who served as the American Baptist Association leader for two years in the 1950s" belittles his service. He was PRESIDENT of the ABA for two years, which is the normal tenure in such positions.
(2) The book(s) cited was obtained from Inter-Library Loan; so it is in a library. I got a copy of his presidential addresses from Interlibrary Loan. The book is available on Amazon. Austin T. Powers As I Knew Him, 83 pages Publisher: Bogard Press (1989) Language: English ISBN-10: 0892112905 ISBN-13: 978-0892112906
(3) I wrote Mr. Powers' biography in an historical journal, North Louisiana History. Some even tried to kill the Wikipedia article on this journal to retaliate against me, but thankfully saner heads prevailed.
I am requesting that this article be undeleted and brought back to the board for review and further consideration. Billy Hathorn (talk) 14:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
- I have no earthly idea what you are talking about. I interact with thousands of pages on Wikipedia every year, so I need context to understand what you're after. At the moment, I have no idea what role I played in the deletion in question. Please link to the article in question (even if it is a red link) or the AfD discussion so I can review what happened and respond to your concerns. Same goes for the section below. —Darkwind (talk) 09:51, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
L. L. Clover deletion from 2013
At the same time the Powers article was deleted; so was the one on L. L. Clover, which I also covered in an article I wrote in 2010 for North Louisiana History. Being in a historical journal would meet the notability requirement for Wikipedia.
The deletion decision says Mr. Clover was the founder of a "defunct" seminary. This is false. The seminary moved into a new building some ten years ago and is still functioning. It graduates about thirty pastors per year, which is a larger number than it might seem.
The decision says one or more of Mr. Clover's books are "not in a library anywhere in the world." False, I got the books from Interlibrary Loan. They are rare but can be located.
Mr. Clover founded his seminary with two or three students in his residence, and it has expanded over the past half century, long after his death. He is not part of a church hierarchy; the ABA is a series of local churches with a loose association. It has some 250,000 members, the last count I saw. It is stronger in AR and LA than most other places.
Both Clover and Powers died in 1975; so there is limited Internet material on them.
The photo mentioned is from a seminary yearbook (1966) that I found in the seminary library when I visited there several years ago. Photos from yearbooks before 1978 are public domain and hence allowed on Wikipedia.
I am requesting that this article too be undeleted pending further editing, review, and consideration. It seems to me that the people pushing for deletion of both articles have a vendetta against me. Of course, I have no idea who these people are or their motivation. The vitriol though is beyond scholarly dissent. Billy Hathorn (talk) 15:07, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
