Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Pitts (preacher)
anyone who would call this article an ad either has no experience with what actual ads masquerading as articles look like, or is hopelessly biased on the subject.  The article is actually quite neutral.  You also might want to look up what  A7 means - ANY plausible claim of notability (of which there are many) is sufficient to stop A7 deletion.  Now, on to the only relevant question: is Pitts notable?  Yes, he is due to significant RS coverage (several listed in article already, otehrs found https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=%22Laurette+Nicoll%22&oq=%22Laurette+Nicoll%22&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i53.1771.2869.0.3600.3.2.0.1.0.0.54.103.2.2.0...0.0...1ac.1.7bphm0DWtjM#q=%22Michael+Pitts%22+pastor&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0&tbm=bks here).  Incidentally, the vast majority of bishops are notable (in churches where the term is used to mean someone overseeing multiple churches), so it is usually a waste of time to nominate them for deletion
