Notability
editThis article should not be deleted because the subject has been quoted as an authority on seventh-day versus first-day Sabbath observance and the advisability of blue laws.
- There needs to be sources to back it up. ... discospinster talk 16:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Marcussen is mentioned on Historic Adventism. I do not believe he is notable enough for his own article, at least by the present sources supplied. Only one of the sources mentions him in any detail. I suggest this article be replaced by a redirect to to the historic article, and perhaps a line or two could be written about him there.

- I just searched Google Books, and found only one good reference to Marcussen (one book had a paragraph on him), and added it. Some more sources were added since I wrote my above comment. It may marginally scrape in to being notable, and because of the extra sources I take back my comment above. Could also try the SDAPI. It is important that the information come from reliable third-party sources, whereas most of it is currently unsourced. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 08:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi User:Jackcrew, SDAPI stands for the Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index. It is an index of many Adventist magazines, and extremely useful. Online here. I can't access it from this computer, so can't do the search myself. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 03:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

clean up
editthis thing reads like an ad, all the references barely have something to do with him. is there any real material out there about this guy? Bouket (talk) 18:51, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Notability
editVery inadequate biographical and notability information provided in article. What’s there is limited to highlights that perhaps this individual’s followers want known. Bluepenciltime (talk) 19:28, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
I’ve added a few things to this article so that it somewhat reflects what is Marcussen’s notoriety without which there’s not any notability. Even with this, it’s questionable that he has sufficient notability. The article remains deficient as I’ve noted, especially the missing biographical info. What is under that section isn’t correctly categorized. Bluepenciltime (talk) 01:38, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Have added and rearranged some info about his publishing. Still no biographical info available. Bluepenciltime (talk) 22:13, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
