Untitled

I created the accompanying main article, and when I previewed my initial attempt noticed (thanks to a helpful template) that the article was previously created and then deleted. Without reference to earlier incarnations of the article, I could easily imagine that the article was previously marked for deletion for POV issues. I decided to continue and create the article with new content. Among the reasons for considering Austin McGary as a fit encyclopedic subject I would consider that he was one of the chief disputants in a theological debate in which the other major player was David Lipscomb, a subject who has already passed Wikipedia's test of encyclopedicity. The characters of Lipscomb and McGary are notable as a pair, and a contrast of their views (a la Plutarch) offers a glimpse into early debates in the American Restoration Movement which still find echos in contemporary dispute between differing factions of the eleventh largest Protestant denomination in the United States. If you disagree, please review Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, and act accordingly. Alan Canon 06:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No one stepped forward to speedily delete my re-creation of the page so I added {{Template:Editprotected}} to attract administrators to this talk page. The subject is a seminal figure in the proto-history of the Church of Christ (an article with many POV problems of its own, which I and others have labored to bring into line with responsible NPOV policy.) As such, I suspect that the earlier version of the article was probably strongly POV (although it appears to have taken place a long time ago, because the article does not appear in the protection or deletion logs, at least as far as I can discover.) I would request that an administrator review my request to restore the present, NPOV version of the article to normal article status. Alan Canon 19:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
