 * Fails WP:PROF

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 72.93.78.209 (talk) 15:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Your contributions are more than welcomed, but notability is important. You might want to take a moment to review WP:PROF before proceeding. Thanks again for the contributions. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've prodded the remainder of the articles you've created, save one - none of them appear to meet notability guidelines as they currently stand, sorry. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 16:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Interesting bias against some of the leading Christian scholars and educators.


 * Pardon? This is not bias.  As many of the articles stand, they do not meet the notability guideline; when prodded they required improvement to meet that standard, and some are borderline at best.  --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 20:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

advice
Please see WP:PROF for our standards. in general, being a full professor is not enough; holding a named chair may or may not be enough, depending on the individual situation. In general, this requires, either evidence of outside major prizes, or the authorship of a very widely used textbook,, or, in the humanities, publication of at least two significant books from major publishers with good reviews. The ones currently up for deletion do not seem to have any evidence of this. Please do not try to include articles on all the faculty of the school. If they are leading educators or scholars, there will be evidence. I will help defend all articles on academics where people may not realise their importance, but only if it looks like they do meet our standards. DGG (talk) 04:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Weddellman! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
