The subject is quite lacking in notability. The presumed notability of the piece appears to be the notability of the subject's notable grandparent and their role as the author of a biography of the same grandparent - however, neither of these things really conveys notability. There is otherwise little to no sourcing or evidence of notability. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:42, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Andrews University, an Adventist institution, which may be a pass of criterion 1 of Notability_(academics). I don't see anything by him on Google Scholar. For works by him, see this Library of Congress search. This biography would be helpful, but does not seem to be avauilable online: .

 * Keep - Per Eastmain's comment above, I was able to confirm the point about the honorary degree through a primary source, which I've since added to that section of the article. I believe this constitutes an acceptable fulfillment of Criteria 1(e) of WP:PROF. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 23:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
