Deletion of Lawrence Kennedy

Comment: Of course I have taken a look at the sources.  I wouldn't have nominated if I hadn't.  Please remember to |assume good faith.  Thank you for the direct link to the Chuck Norris autobiography.  That has helped me to realize that the Norris source is just passing references as well.  The primary mention is on pages 201-202 and it basically just confirms that Pastor Kennedy did the wedding ceremony.  It does not focus on Kennedy at all, and does little to establish notability.  It makes a bit of mention that the pre-marital council from Kennedy was helping working through emotional baggage.  That is fairly run of the mill for a pre-marital council, and does not appear to be particularly notable.  Most pre-marital council provides exactly that.  The fact that it is to someone notable, like Norris, does not add notability to this very routine act for a pastor. Regarding the sources for the organization he founded - those focus on the organization, not him.  Perhaps an article on the organization would be appropriate based upon those sources.  But it is not clear that they add much to his notability as an individual.  Once again, associating with notable individuals (such as your claim above of association with David Cho) does not confer notability, unless the association itself has been the subject of significant reliable source coverage.  In this case it does not appear so.  If you would like to help keep the article, please find reliable secondary sources in major news outlets, etc. instead of primary sources.  It will go a long way towards improving the article and the possibility of keeping it.  I have tried to locate such sources, but have been unable to do so

Comment: I did |assume good faith. The reference isn't passing and is notable. The subject is also featured in the centerfold of the book. You may need to find a paper copy for that one. It was "run of the mill," except that the one being counseled is Chuck Norris and he felt it necessary to mention the subject in his book. It does add notability. You want the subject to be mentioned in reputable and notable periodicals: what is more notable than this reference? But I digress since this is not the crux of my argument; the subject has founded large organizations, been mentioned in multiple periodicals and sites for his charitable work, is mentioned in a major U.S. seminary's list of mega-church pastors. The reference to David Cho shows that they worked together and that Cho hosted and event with Kennedy. I am trying to improve the article and said, FROM THE BEGINNING that I am looking for additional references. There is sufficient proof that Kennedy is notable and it does no good for Wikipedia to delete it
