All I could find of him online was passing mentions, and few of the sources cited appear to actually mention him. Draftified once, and moved back with the only changes made being removal of some references. Wikishovel (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir, The source for this article is from a Biographical booklet titled, "Rev. D.B.T. David: Pastor par excellence" printed by the family after his death, for local readership in Chennai, Nov 2001. The articles of Rev. David had appeared in Tamil newspapers/magazines of the print media era. Church souvenirs contain writings of others about him in Tamil, which preceded times of internet usage and digital formatting. The tribute of Bishop cited is in the YouTube video (in Tamil). There is another reference of his council membership in United Theological College. After Facebook came, some parishioners have commented positively about Rev. David, at different times in the past which are laborious to trace now. He ministered to a neglected community to whom no media or researcher or social worker or church agency engaged with as Rev. David. Therefore, his ministry is considered first of its kind. Clergymen serve the church and the public too without fanfare or promoting themselves. They shun publicity. Any good deed done for publicity will only be self-defeating. Therefore, this article about a social and spiritual transformational work deserves to be at least in a draft format or "sources to be verified" category, for the sake of future researchers. Thank you for your time. (User: Wordofguidance.) Wordofguidance (talk) 06:46, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Nothing for notability. Sourcing used in the article is almost entirely red per Cite Highlighter, so non-RS. I can't find anything about this person... The long note above mentions a book published by the family; I'd consider that a primary source and one isn't enough anyway. Non-notable religious person.

Only notable for one thing, the marriage of Jack Baker and Michael McConnell, to which the article should redirect, per WP:BIO1E. Fram (talk) 12:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Christianity, and Minnesota. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Regardless of what happens, the proper title for this article would dispense with "Rev.". ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Did some searching myself, seems like a clear WP:BLP1E; not much notable coverage that isn't related to the one event. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 19:33, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clear case of WP:BLP1E; no evidence of WP:SIGCOV of the subject at all, just mentions of his role in the ceremony. (The article is also full of original research and the footnotes are a disaster, but that's neither here nor there.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 06:10, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Regrettably, the coverage of this individual is less about them and more about an event they were party to. Since they appear to have otherwise been periphery to the relevant movements/events, I don't see a case for individual notability. A shame, too, as someone clearly worked hard on this article. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I looked into both Google news and books. All of the references focus on either the castle that is nearby, or to the feast/commemoration of the Nativity of the Virgin. This is not an independent parish, but rather a chapel of the castle and an oratory, which is a unique type of house of worship for laypersons; I've visited a few in Italy and elsewhere. FWIW, I'm Episcopalian. Bearian (talk) 02:33, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

3/6 sources are his organization. Another is dead link. There is only this [1] and apparently a mention in a book. If it should not be deleted it can probably be merged with Metro World Child. 🄻 🄰 16:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No WP:PAYWALL-compliant argument against notability articulated. Jclemens (talk) 02:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found a PDF of the book online. He is only mentioned in a paragraph about Metro World Child. Do you think a sentence in a book about his organization and a local news article is enough for more than mentioning in the article about his organization? 🄻 🄰 19:24, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
