George Lyons (theologian)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Worldcat shows his books are in libraries, and of the two publishers he has used, one is notable. He also teaches at a university.

However, there is nothing I can find to show he meets any criterion of WP:PROF, WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG.

I couldn't find an WP:ATD - the only other article he's mentioned in is William M. Greathouse, and that's just in Greathouse's bibliography, stating that they wrote two books together with no further info. Boleyn (talk) 06:19, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable academic and writer. Just because you publish books does not make you notable. Seems odd that kicking a ball in one game does make you notable but oh well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Publishing multiple works with multiple reviews does make one notable per WP:NAUTHOR.  I've found four reviews so far:  Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as passes WP:NAUTHOR with his works reviewed in multiple scolarly reliable sources identified above so that deletion is no longer necessary, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 18:49, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep appears to meet WP:AUTHOR. First review listed isn't about him (I don't think?) but the others are. That's enough. Hobit (talk) 06:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
