James Maxwell (minister)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails the biographical and general notability guidelines. Extremely limited coverage to be found on Google News, which includes a handful of mentions, usually as the presiding minister at funerals. The limited bio on the website of his school gives no indication of notability. -- Lear's Fool 06:17, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. Could be a technical pass of WP:Prof depending on the status of the institution. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC).
 * Unless some reliable sources can be provided to verify the content here, it should be deleted regardless. -- Lear's Fool 06:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The college website says clearly that he is the President. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:52, 12 February 2011 (UTC).
 * I suppose. Regardless, I think that criterion is more intended for people like Vice-Chancellors of major universities and the like.  I don't think being president of a small (400 students) Bible college would qualify.  -- Lear's Fool 07:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That is indeed the point. Does the college qualify as a major academic institution? Xxanthippe (talk) 07:24, 12 February 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete. Though I'm not sure there is a formal policy, I don't think a small religious college (of any religion) can be considered a "major academic institution". For example, this particular school apparently has 30 faculty, which would be smaller than a single department at a research university. Therefore, I don't think that criterion WP:PROF #6 applies.

 * Delete. Agree with Agricola's assessment. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC).
