[edit] Alfred Howard Carter

Alfred Howard Carter (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Article does not meet WP:BIO requirements. I am tenacious about nominating this, regarding the subject matter - but the article does not provide any assertion of notability - the subject claims to be "one of the greatest pioneers of the Pentecostal Christian faith..." but is not even mentioned in the main article. There are no references, no external links, no statements to back up his notability. Ozgod (talk) 15:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Google hits [[1]]
  • Keep. Published author on spirituality (http://bookworm1225.librarything.com/author/carterhoward). Google results support him being a figure in Pentecostal Christianity (although Google results may not reflect significance in this case). --Oldak Quill 15:57, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep cleanup and reference better, and remove the hyperbole. There are losts of references in the article, they just aren't formatted to be pretty. There are also other claims to notability in the biography, on heading a school and other institutions. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The references provided barely pass the independent test. There is no coverage of him in broader sources (Google News Archive, Google Books, Google Scholar). --Dhartung | Talk 02:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It takes a little maneuvering, but googling for "Howard Carter" Pentecostal produces a long list of substantial hits. It's quite clear that he was an important figure in British Pentecostalism. Mangoe (talk) 11:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
