Paul Crouch Jr., is the VP and Chief of Staff for TBN and all of the affiliate networks managed by TBN. TBN Enlace, JCTV, The Church Channel, Smile of a Child. He hosts Praise the Lord, and Behind the Scenes, and is recognized in the Christian community as a TV personality and key figure in the evolution of TBN. Paul Crouch Jr., was named one of the most influential people in Christian TV.[1]This page, in addition to other Wikipedia pages related to TBN, have been targets for deletion from Wikipedia editors that are displaying anything but a NPOV. Personal bias or opinion about whether a religious group, or public minister is notable are not according to Wikipedia standards. Views may differ, but the persons in question are notable in their professional careers, and contributions to the media industry and/or humanitarian outreaches.71.97.55.109 (talk) 01:34, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting added NPOV sources that confirm notability of Paul Crouch is arbitrary. This page has historical authority on Wikipedia. It has been vetted by many Wikipedia editors, but has lately been the target of unwarranted requests for deletion for unsubstantiated reasons that are beginning to look like vandalism. Other pages related to this subject, have been targeted by the same Wiki editor all at the same time. The discussion board is open.71.97.55.109 (talk) 02:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article for Paul Crouch Jr., meets Wikipedia criteria for Notability in more than one category, that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded. BIOGRAPHY: ‘The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field ‘, and as ENTERTAINER: ‘Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions, Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following, Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.’ Additionally, this article is well sourced by third party publications. This dispute is based on broad sweeping statements that indicate sources in the article were not read in good faith, and perhaps there is a misunderstanding of who Paul Crouch Jr., is as a stand alone leader in the religious community, and his role as a prominent religious broadcaster and Chief of Staff of TBN. TBN is the largest religious TV network in the US, and arguably in the world, followed by EWTN. Views on whether a religious figure or organization are notable, may differ based on personal bias, or religious affiliation. Paul Crouch Jr., is very notable in the Christian TV industry, and he and TBN certainly have a huge following of fans (and critics).BermudaWoman (talk) 16:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
