Delete, both as creator of article and for, in retrospect, non-notability. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 21:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. The extradition case is notable, as are the criminal charges and fathering a child, if perhaps less so. I see plenty of mainstream news coverage in Arizona, Britain, and a mention in the New York Times. Hairhorn (talk) 04:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. A cursory Google news search turns up articles in reliable sources — Arizona newspapers ([http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=41088], [http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2003-06-05/news/judgment-day/], [http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2002-05-02/news/sins-of-a-father/], [http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2002-08-22/news/the-pain-of-publicity/]), an Irish newspaper ([http://www.independent.ie/national-news/parade-of-prisoners-in-pink-shorts-stalls-priests-extradition-to-us-259064.html]), the New York times ([http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0C1FF93A5C0C7A8DDDAF0894DB404482]), and US News & World Report ([http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion/articles/030616/16bishop.htm]). The articles span several years (2002 – 2006). The subject meets the general notability guideline. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  04:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
• Keep a notable individual. Reliable sources establish same. Crafty (talk) 03:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
