I am unable to find any coverage of this individual that suggests sufficient significance to satisfy the general or biographical notability guidelines. Wilks received a little coverage here (similar post here), and had an interview here, but nothing in reliable sources. Factiva returns 0 results. -- Lear's Fool 05:02, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- the long list of posts held suggests that he is of some significance, but I would feel more confident if there was an article on the church in Newark, where he is an associate minister. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:36, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was suspicious of the promotional tone of the article back when the author first created it. Since then it's become quite evident that behind it is a single-purpose account, and very likely in a conflict of interest. The notability is highly suspect too: the long list of titles and positions only tells me he's successful, not necessarily notable. -- œ ^™ 09:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non notable, although Metropolitan Baptist Church (Newark) could probably do with an article if it is the largest church in Newark. JASpencer (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
