Don't think this meets WP:PROF Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:32, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete no showing of scholarly impact to pass Academic criteria 1, no other criteria for academics or GNG even approached.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:51, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google Scholar shows almost 400 cites for his book Creation Regained. This is very high for theology, and demonstrates that he has had a "significant impact in his scholarly discipline". Thus, WP:PROF #1 is clearly met. See also the arguments in the previous AfD: Articles for deletion/Albert M. Wolters (second nomination). StAnselm (talk) 20:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I only see 292 cites, but that is enough for theology. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC).
 * The first two results are different editions of the same book, so presumably they should be added together. StAnselm (talk) 06:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep This article did not contain any of Wolters's significant work on the book of Zechariah, which has now been added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.138.149 (talk) 11:15, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Although I freely admit I am not fully across theology & theologists, this subject appears to meet Criterion 4 of WP:NACADEMIC; evidenced by the (relatively) large number of citations of his works. --Jack Frost (talk) 03:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - passes WP:NACADEMIC. Theologians are always difficult but I think he passes pretty easily. As mentioned earlier, his book, "Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview" is currently show 293 citations for the 2005 version (none for the 1985 version that I can find) which is a pretty decent number in Theology. Additionally, WorldCat is showing his books in a number of prominent Divinity schools such as Boston University School of Theology, Yale University, Harvard University Divinity School Library, Duke University, University of Notre Dame, etc.   CBS 527 Talk 01:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
