Support?: As I initially proposed it for miscellaneous deletion, I'm not sure my vote necessarily counts. Ominateu (talk) 20:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC) (sock strike Liz Read! Talk! 07:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete this article should have never been created. Catfurball (talk) 20:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Obituaries and a real estate agent in Michigan found, nothing about this pastor. Very much non-notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: ”[...] is a prominent local figure“ not only is very subjective but also cannot be confirmed. As a side note, a personal Instagram or LinkedIn profile does not qualify as a reliable source in most cases. Killarnee (talk) 21:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Clearly fails WP:SIGCOV. Anwegmann (talk) 02:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The only references are to his church's web site and his own social media profiles. A search finds no coverage in reliable sources.--Gronk Oz (talk) 08:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support: As the person who made the article and contributed the most to it, most of my knowledge surrounding this topic is from real-life experiences. I am new to Wikipedia and editing, so if it needs to be deleted then I'll take an L, but this topic said nothing false and quite frankly helps locals learn more about Josh Scheidler, I was planning to add more onto it but I'm not sure I will since it's about to be deleted. Ignite Faith Church is a prominent non-denominational church within Redmond and contributes to the local politics and such. I will try to find more reliable sources, however the modern world doesn't like talking about churches' impact on society, especially Pastors. Happyjoshua (talk) 20:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Happyjoshua: Wikipedia is not the appropriate place to record a person's "real-life experiences". It is used to summarize the best of what reliable, independent sources say about a subject. If you can find those, please raise them here. Gronk Oz (talk) 05:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I said that I had real-life experiences to support the thought that the information provided was valid, not that I had any conflict of interest. I don't have independent sources about Josh Scheidler. I still support keeping the page or at least merging it with another Wikipedia article, but I understand that it likely will be deleted. Happyjoshua (talk) 08:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Fails notability guidelines: immediate deletions as no GNG sources available, and citations are all primary and unreliable. Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 19:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:GNG, WP:SOAP, and WP:NOTWEBHOST. I'm sorry, but the argument that "I don't know" was tenable in 2007, but not in 2024. Everyone knows at least vaguely what we are and we are not. Bearian (talk) 20:30, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
