Fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Has not received significant coverage, except for this entry in the Handbook of Texas. This person is certainly accomplished, but the position of executive secretary does not meet Wikipedia's threshold for notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:56, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Failure of WP:BEFORE. The Handbook of Texas Online cited above does includes additional sources. But besides that, there's a long entry in Baptist Biography and another long entry in Veterans of the Cross. He seems to have been a significant figure among Texas Baptists.--Jahaza (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:BEFORE. Also has an entry in the Encyclopedia of Southern Baptists. StAnselm (talk) 19:07, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as principal of what became East Texas Baptist University under his immediate successor, he is certainly notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as per the encyclopedia entry and many reliable sources presented above ,so that WP:BASIC is passed. Atlantic306 (talk) 00:49, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
