'''Richard Dillingham''', ([[June 18]], [[1823]] - [[June 30]], [[1850]]), was a [[Quaker]] school teacher from Peru Township in what is now [[Morrow County, Ohio]], who was arrested in [[Tennessee]] on [[December 5]], [[1848]], while aiding the attempted escape of three slaves. Tried [[April 12]], [[1849]], he was sentenced to three years in the Tennessee State Penitentiary in [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]], where he died of [[cholera]]. He was celebrated as a [[martyr]] to the [[abolitionist]] cause by novelist [[Harriet Beecher Stowe]], fellow Quaker [[Levi Coffin]] and the poet [[John Greenleaf Whittier]], who wrote the poem ''The Cross'' in Dillingham's honor.

* '''Delete''' It exists, but I see little evidence that it is notable (even if the article were NPOVd - which would leave a ''very'' small stub at present) [[User:Just zis Guy, you know?|Just zis Guy, you know?]] ^{[[User_talk:Just zis Guy, you know?|[T]]]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Just zis Guy, you know?|[C]]]} :: ''[[User:Just zis Guy, you know?/AfD|AfD?]]'' 14:47, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

*Removed earlier vote to keep as page is a copyvio. While it is a legitimate tpic for an article, it shouldn't be a copyvio one. '''Delete'''. [[User:Capitalistroadster|Capitalistroadster]] 22:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

* '''Keep''' if rewritten or turned into a stub. '''Delete''' otherwise. I was thinking it would be non-notable, but they were mentioned in [http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2004/jun/03/yehey/opinion/20040603opi2.html the Manilla Times] and [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-37,GGLD:en&q=+site:www.sunstar.com.ph+%22kingdom+broadcasting+network%22+Davao+ repeatedly] in their hometown paper, the Sun Star Davao, which appears to be an [http://max.limpag.com/2005/04/23/sunstar-davao-wins-4-community-press-awards/ award-winning paper] in a city of [[Davao City|over one million]]. --[[User:William Pietri|William Pietri]] 18:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

**'''Comment''': that the local newspaper of the city only mentions this station ''five'' times is a sign of non-notability. The article of the Manila times mentions this station only at the end of the article, in passing. The sentence is particularly interesting: <div style="padding: 20px;">If you don’t believe religion is big business you don’t know how many millions of pesos evangelists and other “religious” leaders are spending to widen their communication network [http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2004/jun/03/yehey/opinion/20040603opi2.html].</div> I also think that even good newspapers sometimes mention things or people that are not notable.

*** Hmmmm... Looking into this more, it looks like this is one head of a hydra, but a notable hydra. If we had an article on Apollo C. Quiboloy or the Kingdom of Jesus Christ the Name Above Every Name church, I'd support a merge. But as it is I'm not quite sure what to do. --[[User:William Pietri|William Pietri]] 20:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. The list of TV channels alone is significant, just remove the POV stuff and clean it up. [[User:Bryan Derksen|Bryan]] 04:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
