Gordon Franz


According to the article "combines a scholar’s love for God’s Word and his archaeological and geographical knowledge of the lands of the Bible"?? This guy seems to be a non-notable Christian archeologist, who's sole claim to fame is some spat with the seemingly slightly more notable Bob Cornuke. I suspect this article may only exist to justify POV pushing on the the Cornuke article, which consists of quote after quote as to why Franz says he's wrong. Delete this one, and then let's crop the other one to the baiscs. -Docg 19:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Clear problems with WP:PEACOCK, but afd is not a cleanup site. gsearch shows he may be notable. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 21:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't bring it here for clean-up. I brought it here because I think it isn't worth an article. If you think otherwise, perhaps you might offer some reasons. Why is he notable? I'm genuinely open to being convinced.--Docg 22:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * delete as per nom.--Buridan 13:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - All footnotes and external links cited in the article are essentially self-published, aren't they? I'll look a bit more for scholarly references ... but am not optimistic. Keesiewonder 01:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
