[edit] Dr. Bob Roberts, Jr.

Article about a pastor that asserts no notability. I originally prodded this article, but it was removed by the article Creator --Bill (who is cool!) 21:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Lots of notability. Probably not in an area you're close to, but google this guy and you'll see a zillion blogs and reviews of what he's doing. It's big stuff in the church world since he's get a new way of thinking about church and getting people out of the pew and doing some good. --Gritsranch 21:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. A google search of "Dr. Bob Roberts, Jr" produces 3 websites. No notability. michaelCurtis ^talk+ _{contributions} 22:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Only assertion of notability is for his coinage of the frankly nauseating neologism "glocal", for which he will answer on the Last Day, and which, at present, the article seems to be entirely about. If kept, will need renaming to Bob Roberts, Jr (no Dr, no periods), IAW the style guide. Tevildo 22:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean-up Meets the published author test of WP:BIO. Plenty of reviews as you wade through the google web search results for Bob + Roberts + glocal. As of July 8, 2006, one of his books was in the top 20 selling books at http://www.christianbook.com/. [1] CBD is one of, it not the, largest distributors of Christian books in the U.S., so are a very good guage for importance in Christian publishing. Amazon.com rank of about 350,000 is reasonable. Book published by Zondervan, second forthcoming from them. Zondervan is a respected Christian press, not a vanity press. The article does need wikification. GRBerry 17:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
