Frank Senn

This article has several problems. I would put it at WP:BLPPROD, but it has a source (albeit with questionable reliability). The vast majority of the content is unsourced, and the two sources in the article are terrible. One is broken, and even if it were to work, should not be considered. It is by the church he is a pastor at. A pastor's page on a church website is not neutral. The other article mentions Frank a single time, and is clearly not about him. This may even be a WP:GNG fail, as I cannot find any sources about him elsewhere. The unsourced content is so great in number that the article would likely not be salvageable if it were all to be removed.  I-82-I &#124;  TALK  22:17, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I found multiple reviews for multiple books, including . That makes a case for WP:NAUTHOR.  The article isn't in great shape, but I don't think it's quite so bad as for WP:TNT. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I would agree with Russ Woodroofe. Senn is a well-known academic, theologian, and author in western liturgical studies. Might be one of the premier scholars in the area across North America. Seems like this article just needs better sources and content in line with Wikipedia's guidelines. Afuller2028 (talk) 18:49, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Seems to just about be notable. Deletion is not cleanup. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:44, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Article needs more citations. But it seems notable. D My Son  08:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: rather impressive Google Scholar results for the subject area suggests he passes WP:PROF #1. StAnselm (talk) 17:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as stated by Afuller2028 &#32;DocumentError (talk) 03:07, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as per the reviews shown in this discussion that show that his works have received academic reviews which isn't surprising as he has 3700+ library holdings,passes WP:NAUTHOR in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
