• Delete, Misplaced Pages is not an evangelical resource for any religion. Guy (Help!) 14:43, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
• Keep Although I can appreciate Guy's concerns, I believe that one can write an encyclopedic article about evangelism in an impartial, non-evangelical tone. Although this is one of the smaller denominations (7 million people), it is, like the Mormons, one where the members are expected to be actively evangelical. For those who have ever seen the Land Shark skits from the original Saturday Night Live, I'm not ready to club the guy bringing "The Watchtower" to the door. Mandsford 18:57, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

• Sure you can, but it would need to be something other than a directory and sourced from independent sources. Which this isn't. Guy (Help!) 20:32, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

This article isn't about evangelism, it's about specific books a particular religious group uses, with a lack of third-party sources, and I'm not aware of similar articles about publications used by other religious groups. This series of articles was originally created as a concession in lieu of separate articles about various non-notable JW literature. It is sufficient to include an overview of JW literature at the existing article, Jehovah's Witnesses publications.--Jeffro77 (talk) 01:12, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I've just started looking for third-party references. I've found a couple already for "What Does the Bible Teach?" including "Winning the Witnesses" by Daniel Rodriquez. I have encountered opposition on other Jehovah's Witnesses pages when trying to delete unreferenced material, or decrease material based primarily on Watchtower Society (self-published) literature. If people were willing to make changes to the page, I think it could be saved. Mandmelon (talk) 10:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
