Jonathan Williams (pastor)

24.171.16.151 (talk • contribs) apparently tagged this for deletion and followed the link to the previous discussion, which I reverted a couple of times, as that discussion was closed. I have no opinion on Mr. Williams' notability, so no vote. — Apr. 5, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

This is actually the third nomination. First nom closed Feb 28, 2006 no consensus. Second nom closed March 7, 2006 no consensus. This third nomination derives from a content dispute on Talk:Aryan Nations in whch some editors feel they are "real" members of the Aryan Nation but Williams is not. The leader of the revert war seems to be 24.171.16.151 (talk · contribs) (see below). Regarding verifiability, Williams is quoted in the Chattanooga Times Free Press in articles dated October 2004 and October 2005 as "Jonathan Williams, Aryan Nations communications director in Atlanta" and "senior pastor of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian/Aryan Nations." It seems like there has been a split within the organization and this AfD is the result of one faction trying to suppress the other. Based on the newspaper quotes I believe he is notable as well, although I can see why it was a no consensus previously; its a borderline case. Keep. Thatcher131 17:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: per Aryan Nations Jonathan Williams, is a Fraud, and he and the whole 12 year imposters are all fakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryan Nations (talk • contribs) New user Thatcher131 11:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: per 24.171.16.151 Williams is not only not a member of the group of wich he claims muchless a pastor or leader of the Aryan Nations but he is a 20 year old kid with no recognization be it News, net, etc, etc. 20 year old kids don't get famous for lie.
• Delete Per 66.165.90.125 Jonathan Williams is a Fraud.... Kid only put in a request for page to try & gain page rank for his new bogus website claiming AN of wich he is not (Obviously). New user Thatcher131 11:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The appears to be a content dispute between a group that considers itself to be the "true" Aryan Nations and a splinter or dissident group that also self-identifies as Aryan Nations; Williams is part of the latter group, see Talk:Aryan_Nations. Thatcher131 11:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Google search only brings up 3 pages with mention of his name all of wich are the same articles written by himself on noncredible sites. Does not merit article. -Yahweh- New user Thatcher131 13:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable, unverifable. -Will Beback 19:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I understand where you might get nn from, but where are you getting unverifiable from? JoshuaZ 20:12, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually there's an awful lot in the article that is at least unverified. "His views differ little from those expressed since the 18th and 19th century," or "His Pentecostal beliefs weakened as he became more involved with Conspiracy theorists" or "Williams holds degrees in theology, as well as political history, which makes him seem easier to stomach than some of the same element." For a more notable person his views on religion, politics, and so on might be recorded in multiple media interviews or published biographies. In this case I'm not sure what we can rely on; someone listening to his radio show I guess, or hearing him in church. Which I why I think this is a borderline case; he seems to be quoted in the local papers and is verifiably a Christian Identity minister, but can we verifiy his other statements and beliefs?

• Delete. Not only a Fraud but not popular enough. The only reason Williams would have ever been even in a local newspaper "if that's even true" is because of his fraudulent claims, Williams only fame is being a Fraud. —This unsigned comment was added by 64.37.104.200 (talk • contribs) .
  • Comment That is all hear say, Thatcher you act like you have some personal ties to this Williams Fraud, please refrain from posting POV's, need not comment everytime someone votes to delete this kid, people do not need your persuasion here. Williams openly admits is not & never has been a Member of the Aryan Nations. And is not & was not @ anytime a Aryan Nations pastor as to be a Aryan Nations Pastor you must be ordained by the Aryan Nations therefore he can not even claim to be what he's trying to be known famous for. Williams is just a highschool kid, he don't no Degrees in Theology LOL & that's besides the fact he's never even met a Aryan Nations Pastor or Leader. Jonathan Williams is a 20 year old kid who lies & has not only no credibility but no proof or fame @ all. —This unsigned comment was added by 24.171.16.151 (talk •
