The result was KEEP. If it turns out that this guy really is Jesus Christ, I for one do not want to have to explain to St. Peter why I deleted this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herostratus (talk • contribs)
Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is (or is not) a cult leader, dpeending who you believe. A search for the exact name cult and a search for the exact name -cult give approximately equal numbers of hits, but both numbers are small. A few mainstream cites, but only really for his organisation, on which we do not have an article. So I say delete this, since we have here two sentences, of which one (the one with citations, ironically) is the subject of an edit war. Guy 07:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. While I would prefer an article on the organization rather than the person, the fact there's a few mainstream citations about his organization makes him the leader of a notable cult. I don't see how leaders of a notable cult can't be notable themselves. If the edit war bothers you, block offenders, get it protected or ask for mediation. There's enough ways to resolve this without deleting verifiable information. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a question of how significant the verifiable information is, really. Guy 13:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete let's see... man starts religious evangelism, proclaims himself the second coming of Jesus Christ, gets a few minor mentions on various websites, and a puff piece on the Today Show... and this meets WP:BIO how? I say weak though because I suspect there may be sufficient sourcing in Spanish Language texts to meet WP:BIO and I will reconsider if someone can produce them.--Isotope23 16:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep When someone is mentioned on a a segment of a TV show, they garner some buzz. Buzz helps establish notability. This guy is getting mentioned and it appears that he is note worthy. Also per MacGyverMagic. Yanksox 21:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I second Mgm. The guy IS information. I came to this article hoping to learn more about him after encountering his claims elsewhere. I'm sure there are enough people in a similar situation to warrant an article. The article does need a lot of work, though.--RichG 08:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep I think this subject is very interesting and notable. Especially considering that he has been on the news, and that his followers have given him cars and lots of money. EliasAlucard|Talk 19:43, 15 Sept, 2006 (UTC+1)
- Keep per the above comments. RFerreira 22:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
