Why does truth for life auto-direct here? It seems to mee that it should have its own page, about the radio program, and that one man is not a radio program. The article should then link to this as its main voice.
I don't think Parkside Church is
noteworthy enough, on its own, to have its own Wikipedia page--most churches don't have WP entries. The reason Parkside is notable is because it's the church of a nationally broadcast radio preacher--but that preacher is notable enough to have his own WP page. And most likely, if someone is looking up Parkside Church, it's because they're interested in Alistair Begg; redirecting to his page seems appropriate to me.
As for Truth For Life, again, I don't think both the show and the host merit WP pages, especially since Begg has been the host from the beginning. (That is, someone who looks up The Tonight Show might be interested in Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, or Jay Leno, int. al.; someone who looks up Truth For Life is pretty much only interested in Alistair Begg.) I could see giving either AB or T4L their own page, but I don't see the need for both. And of those two choices, I think it makes more sense to give a page to Alistair Begg, and have T4L point there. If someone looks up Truth For Life, I think they'll be satisfied to end up at the entry on Mr. Begg. --

Actually, when Alistair Begg first came to America to pastor the church, it was called The Chapel and it was in another building. I think it may have actually been in another town, too, but I could be wrong. After they relocated, they spent six and a half years in a high school and then, in 1993, they finally got to be Parkside Church. So, as for him being there for the founding of the church as it is now known, he was that. Source:

Is there a source that he formally renounced his UK nationality when he was naturalized in the US? Seems unlikely to me that someone would do that when there's no need or requirement to do so. Maybe it was just an assumption made on Wikipedia that because he was naturalized in the US he ceased to be a UK national? In this video Begg says "our nation" referring to the UK:
