Speedy deletion nomination of Rev. Robert N. McIntyre[edit]

Hello Marshalmiller,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rev. Robert N. McIntyre for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. 220 of ^Borg 05:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you asked a question about this elsewhere, that was never answered. Reading the deleted article, the career does not seem particularly notable (we'd normally keep articles on Bishops of that church) and I too would have speedy deleted it as an admin. But regardless of speedy deletion on that basis, the article would not be kept in Wikipedia after a discussion, because it does not have reliable third-party independent sources, to show that he has been noticed substantially (more than just lists) outside of his own congregation. (see our guidelines WP:GNG and WP:Reliable sources ). Whether or not we should have this limitation is perhaps debatable, but we do have it. If you can find such sources --is he included substantially in overall histories of the denomination? -- then there is no reason not to submit a rewritten article based on those sources.
