Washington Gladden

Entire article reads "Washington Gladden was a pastor in Ohio during the Social Gospel movement." Not enough evidence of notability. --Lee Hunter 00:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• He's apparently notable enough to get an entry in the Columbia encyclopedia. The article seems to indicate enough notability, but I don't know enough about the guy to rewrite an article that short without having it border on copyvio. Keep and tag for expansion.

• Keep per Meelar. Kappa 00:31, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand also mentioned in the Cambridge History of English and American Literature and had an article in the 1911 Britannica [1]. I will have a go at expanding it myself if necessary. Capitalistroadster 01:03, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Good catch, Meelar. Quale 01:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
