[edit]

I have found no sources that show that Sathya Sai Baba, that claims to be god in human form, is an inspiration to Jonathan Falwell, a Christian that believes that only Jesus Christ was and will ever be the only god man. So, I will remove the part of the statement about Sathya Sai Baba. It makes sense that Jesus Christ or his dad would be his inspiration, since Jonathom is a Christian and Jerry is his Dad whose church and ministry he is now leading. J. D.

Taft's page lists its law school as accredited, and accreditation is usually retroactive, so I removed its listing as "unaccredited". ASigIAm213

[edit]

The page was tagged using {{db-copyvio}} based on this "about the author" section from a Falwell-authored book. Upon reviewing the article history, the text is clearly in our article before the book came out (the book is from 2012) and I cannot find any evidence of another source using the text prior to us. Quite the contrary, our text seems to have mostly evolved over time. I wanted to makes note of this here, though, in case anyone else would like to take a look. --B (talk) 21:58, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability Tag Removed

[edit]

I removed this tag for two reasons. First it has been in place for six years with no discussion on the topic. Second, when you are the pastor of one of the most influential evangelical churches in the United States (especially in the political realm), the church you pastor not only has its own Wikipedia article, but so does its private school and university, and the son of a man who essentially created the evangelical political movement, that alone qualifies as notability.

I have restored the notability tag. Currently, we are lacking the sort of sources that would indicate notability; indeed, the closest thing that we have to an article about the subject literally only has one sentence about him. This article does not demonstrate his notability; the "being the son of" argument fails when viewed through WP:NOTINHERITED. This may be correctable, but the fact that no one addressed the problem in the six years before your post nor in the six years since suggests at least the possibility that the problem may not be with our sourcing but with lack of actual notability. As for any current importance of the Thomas Road Baptist Church, at the moment about the only thing that the article has from Jonathan's tenure is a 2016 membership count. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
