 * Keep but the name appears to be Jeff Iorg (currently a redirect), where I suggest this article be moved afterwords. Golden Gate is a significant seminary system, and he is its president, passing WP:PROF C6.  Ray  Talk 18:13, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. I tried moving the page already, but I couldn't. This should have all been sorted out before the page was nominated for deletion, and I suggest WP:BEFORE has not been properly followed. In any case, it's a clear keep per WP:PROF. StAnselm (talk) 19:41, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs more references, but the president of a large seminary is certainly notable - just as a university president would be. --MelanieN (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would argue that the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary is not a "major academic institution or major academic society". -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Despite the fact that the lead describes it as "one the largest seminaries in the United States"...? StAnselm (talk) 19:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't consider a seminary to be an academic institution. Not sure what the consensus on that would be. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Why not? This is a degree granting institution with 2000 students. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the premier accrediting agency for this part of the country (the same agency that accredits the University of California). I don't know what your doubts about its status could be based on, and I won't speculate per WP:AGF.. --MelanieN (talk) 00:03, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. There's an established convention that religious colleges are major institutions, see e.g. Friedman AfD or Rabinowitz AfD. Agricola44 (talk) 07:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC).


 * Keep -- president of a major academic institution. Seminaries count in the same way specialized colleges for engineering, music, etc. count. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 06:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:44, 1 March 2013 (UTC).
 * Keep per above arguments. Agricola44 (talk) 07:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete - promotional. Deb (talk) 21:08, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * AfD pertains to whether or not this individual is notable, not to the tone or content of the article. The discussion seems now to have narrowed to whether the president of a religious college (Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, in this case) is notable according to WP:PROF #6 ("...person has held a highest-level...academic post at a major academic institution...). Is your contention that this person is not notable per this description? Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 16:09, 4 March 2013 (UTC).
