Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grady R. Kent
I cannot agree that a biographical entry in a book such as ''Religious leaders of America'' is a passing mention. I can't see how much there is about him in ''The Encyclopedia of American Religions'', but he is clearly not just mentioned once, as the snippet view ends with a new sentence starting "Kent ...". ''Nelson's Guide to Denominations'' is also only a snippet view, but in the single sentence visible we have Kent's years of birth and death, and his prior affiliation. In addition to those sources, Newspapers.com shows coverage of him from his flogging in 1939 https://www.newspapers.com/image/87083253/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22 and https://www.newspapers.com/image/206036450/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22, through 1946 when he returned to Georgia to help wipe out the KKK (also includes that he had 8 children) https://www.newspapers.com/image/187962220/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22, a 1953 report of a flying mission https://www.newspapers.com/image/108472251/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22, a 1956 report about missing planes being found that includes the information that Kent flew to Jamaica on the start of a missionary tour of the Caribbean https://www.newspapers.com/image/363215688/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22, a 1961 report of a speech where Kent outlined plans for Church of God cars, motorbikes and a navy https://www.newspapers.com/image/187512611/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22, and a 1962 report of a Church of God motorcade - the info about him is short: he travelled with it, and initiated the fleet in 1958 (this source has different names for the fleet from the Wikipedia article) https://www.newspapers.com/image/189049474/?terms=%22Grady%2BR.%2BKent%22. Definitely enough to meet . The article definitely needs improvement for tone, sourcing (and spelling), but that is not a reason to delete it
