=[[Terry MacAlmon]]=

A google for "I sing praises" and McAlmon yields around 10 unique hits, the writer about 150, mostly adverts for other songs. No evidence to support claims of "top 40 Christian songs" (in the UK Graham Kendrick is I think the only living writer to make the top 40 Christian sings, but I could be wrong there). Publisher is redlinked, none of the supposed modern hymnals in which it's included are referenced. I call WP:HOLE. Just zis  Guy, you know?

  • Strong Keep. You may not have heard of him but unfortunately citing a page you just dreamed up, i.e. WP:Hole, is not good enough for me. Guess what. Amazon has heard of him because they are selling around 8 of his albums [http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/102-3728404-3987358?search-alias=aps&keywords=Terry%20Macalmon]. Sony has heard of him because that's the label he records for. I call WP:please do some research. -- JJay 16:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious if not Speedy Keep. Has at least 7 albums out on that obscure little record label Sony. Has more solo albums than Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani combined, a point at least as convincing as WP:HOLE. By the way, that Google search came out badly because the searcher spelled the subject's name wrong! Monicasdude 23:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's disappointing to see that "delete because I haven't heard of it" has become official deletionist reasoning. Kappa 23:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
