• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 14:35, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As the son of the infamous Fred Phelps and heir to his empire (if such a word could be used) I think he is quite notable. I have seen him quoted in a number of places regarding various protests and such. *Exeunt* Ganymead ^Dialogue? 15:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Very notable son of the very notable Fred Phelps Leads an active role in expanding his father's cult. Cynicism addict 16:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge anything verifiable to Fred Phelps. Being related to notability does not confer notability. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 16:39, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Westboro Baptist Church or Fred Phelps. Not notable enough to merit his own entry. Only one quote in Google News, and most of the Google references treat him as a minor character, as does Westboro Baptist Church. --William Pietri 16:58, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Westboro Baptist Church or Fred Phelps. He doesn't have any independent claim to notability. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This article was once much longer and I had found it useful. May I ask whoever removed most of the text why it's now a stub? CanadianCaesar 00:28, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I looked at the history and saw that it was deleted by 66.32.35.45, which is possibly a WBC congregant. I've restored the text. Guanaco 03:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • You might be right. Keep- again, I found it useful. CanadianCaesar 00:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and improve As Phelps Sr. ages, he has the potential to become more prominent in his own right. The information about his marriage is interesting and provides some insight into the Phelps family dynamics. The problem is that none of this information is sourced.
