Hasn't C.S. Lewis sold more books than Philip Yancey's 14 million? C.S. Lewis was a Christian writer, creating the children's Chronicles of Narnia series, which must've sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.?The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kilnerad (talk ? contribs) 00:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Philip Yancy is ONE of the best selling evangelical Christian authors. There are many, including C.S. Lewis that could be argued to have sold more books.?The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.98.231.113 (talk ? contribs) 05:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Growing up, he was racist. It mentions this in his book, "What's So Amazing About Grace?". It mentions how his southern friend, Mel White, who they cracked jokes about homosexuals, became a homosexual. His friend is known to be a Homosexual-Christian. What's sad is he said he could more easily find sex on the streets, than get a hug in a church.

Notability:Biographies

[edit]

I added the {{notability}} template ... please see WP:Biographies of living persons for WP:Verifiability issues about WP:Reliable sources to satisfy WP:Notability (people) ... and see WP:Manual of Style (biographies) for the proper format of such articles. —72.75.85.159 (talk · contribs) 09:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

[edit]

Why on earth would someone question the "notability" of an author who has sold more than 14 million books? Isn't that notable enough? Is there some Wikipedia rule that excludes best-selling authors? Perhaps the notability posting of 8 Jan 07 has an ulterior motive behind it? 69.19.14.34 20:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The issue seems to be that sources need to be cited that verify Yancey's notability --K_R 23:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the number of copies, why isn't an author of multiple books and an editor of an influential magazine enough notibility? Are we worried about clogging the "tubes"?

                  • but my dear dear friend eventhough i agree with u that philip yancey is the 21st century "st.Paul", we cannot judge the validity of his points based on the number of books he managed to sell.........!213.55.73.88 (talk) 12:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)kiya bekele[reply]
