[edit] Ron Luce, Honor Academy, and Teen Mania Ministries

Ron Luce (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No sources for notability. Some unsourced claims about authoritarian teachings, but nothing remarkably famous. These and similiar articles that all appear to support one another were started by Davidwilson (talk · contribs). Very spammy and devoid of notability. Arbustoo 20:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. There are plenty of sources out there - the preceding were just the ones that showed up in a perfunctory Google News search for the last month. The article needs to integrate these sources, but Luce and his ministry are clearly notable. JavaTenor 00:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Ron Luce and Teen Mania Ministries. As mentioned in the preceding comment, there are many more articles out there, including here and here, that focus on the organization and Luce. More references to media coverage that could be added to the subject articles are in the Battle Cry Campaign article that is specific to Teen Mania's current initiative. The Honor Academy article should probably be merged with the Teen Mania Ministries article. Mike Doughney 02:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The ministry is at least news worthy for its events (like any other band / or play, since its ATF events are primarily drama). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hopquick (talk • contribs) 03:41 April 6, 2007 (UTC).

• Keep -- Definitely notable, with plenty of mainstream media coverage. --Eastlaw 04:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, expand and improve -- Here's another mainstream media report on Luce, from NPR's On The Media, 4/6/07.--HughGRex 11:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, recently reported in Rolling Stone Magazine. centuri0n 04:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, this seems to be growing, based on the above Rolling Stone article. Definitely keep because it will probably be reported on more as it grows over the next few years. GreatRedShark 7:48 PM EST 11 April, 2007
