Fails WP:GNG. No significant independent coverage. All sources (most are dead links) are from related entities or youtube/facebook. Zanhe (talk) 04:54, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

He's been quite a vocal proponent of campus access for religious groups in the face of some non-discrimination policies at various universities and related court cases in the past few years. I took out the dead links and updated the article since it seems nobody has touched it in years. I'm leaving momentarily for a week's vacation, but would be glad to find more sources upon my return. 74.84.224.45 (talk) 12:45, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Coverage relies exclusively in very minor Christian news sources. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  01:43, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete User:FoCuSandLeArN's characterization of Christianity Today, Christian Broadcasting Network, and Christian Post as "very minor" news sources is simply, flat-out wrong.  However, I can find no reviews or RS of any kind on Jao's 2 authored books or on his co-authored study guide.  What I do find - in major news sources, including major secular media, are mentions of his role in campus controversies as national field director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.  Being the staffer who is quoted on or even, as with Jao, involved in news-worthy controversies does not confer notability  unless, of course, those news sources confer notability by writing about you, not just mentioning or quoting you as staff.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:24, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep According to the aritcile on InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has 949 chapters on 616 campuses. IVCF is a para-church interdenominational organisation, but we should accord it similar status to a denomination.  I am not clear what the role of a "national field director" is, but it sounds like the head of the organisation.  I note that his previous post was as director for certain states.  If I am right, his status is somewhat equivalent to a bishop or the moderator of a denomination, whom we would not think of deleting.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:10, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
