It would be incredibly difficult to evaluate the notability of this kind of article (ie, an academic-like person who isn't affiliate with a university) without some assistance. I do notice there's a lot of primary sources in this one, which was the final straw in nomination. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:41, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I want to expand this article because I created it as a stub to expand later. There are twenty book reviews for his books in peer-reviewed philosophy and theology journals. They are all on JSTOR. I haven't had a chance to summarize them all yet. Examples, , . Psychologist Guy (talk) 03:52, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis of these articles at Google Scholar. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This is a respectable list of publications. I have not investigated the articles, but having 3 books reviewed in a secular journal suggests notability.  The article would be better for being located at his full name, with present initial title as a  as a redirect.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * "D. J. B. Hawkins" is fine per WP:COMMONNAME: it's more natural, less cumbersome, the form used on books and the preferred form at several national databases per VIAF and WorldCat. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO#3: prior inclusion in at least two encyclopedias (the New Catholic Encyclopedia and the Continuum Encyclopedia of British Philosophy) is evidence of WP:GNG. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What primary sources are being referred to here? In the article at the time of nomination there were two encyclopedias and three book reviews cited, none of which are primary sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:16, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * can you explain what primary sources are on the article? I am not a fan of primary sources and rarely ever add them. I did not add any on this article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article again, it seems that I mistaken in thinking that were primary sources (I misread some of the inline citations). I would withdraw the nomination, but it looks like a snow keep is pretty much inevitable. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 08:34, 24 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Ah that's no problem. I see from your edits you are busy on Wikipedia and you do a lot of good work here. Admittedly I only started the article as a stub more references need to be added. I will add more references later today. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:43, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
