The result was keep. Ron Ritzman ( talk) 01:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Background: In perusing some old AfDs I participated in, I came across this unusual case. In the original AfD the result was a delete as the closing admin discounted the SPAs and "I've heard of him" calls. The AfD itself opened in 2005 under the old VfD naming convention, appears to have gotten lost, renamed in October, then had !votes trickle in from Jul-Aug of 2006, then closed in Oct by Guy. However, a keep-voter from the AfD removed the tag from the article, and for whatever reason the article was never actually deleted.
Present: Given the AfD's odd history and length of time since, it probably can't just be procedurally deleted now, so...where it is at is still the same concerns raised 5-6 years ago. Stanley gets a brief name-drop in a USA Today/Christians Science Monitor article about "godcasting" in general, but beyond that I see nothing reliable or significant in terms of coverage. The bibliography is long but none of the material sufficiently meets WP:AUTHOR Tarc ( talk) 15:33, 26 January 2011 (UTC) reply
