Unreferenced BLP. Although it's a common name I haven't been able to find any third-party coverage on this person to satisfy notability and the article doesn't claim anything remarkable. PROD previously removed by unregistered user without comment. Hut 8.5 13:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete Unreferenced BLP must go. ╟─TreasuryTag►collectorate─╢ 18:30, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  There's no speedy deletion criterion for unreferenced BLPs (unless they're negative in tone, which this one isn't). Hut 8.5 19:43, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Then I shan't be offended if you don't read the word 'speedy' from my comment above. ╟─TreasuryTag►constablewick─╢ 21:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as unverified. Nothing on a channel called "Wonderful Christian Network" on Google Web or News. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 21:12, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I can't find anything reliable or even close to reliable that would support or develop noteworthy content. His name is mentioned here http://disciple21century.com/PGreferencelibrary.htm as being a minister but the link from his name is only a redirect to our article.Off2riorob (talk) 21:20, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Unsourced Biography of a Living Person. It has been around for a few years, not sure if such things were grandfathered in. In any event, that needs to be taken care of if this is kept, in my view. Carrite (talk) 00:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Could not find any sourcing at all under "Matthew Webb" plus "televangelist". "Matthew Webb" plus "preacher" finds a ton of unremarkable other people by the same name. If you don't add a qualifier you get a ton of hits, mostly about the channel swimmer. --MelanieN (talk) 00:52, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
