 * Delete. What the article refers to as the subject's most popular book appears to be very limited in its distribution ( approximately 10 hits, via Google ) and to have received no coverage in secondary sources independent of the publisher. And although he completed his Ph.D. last month, I see no evidence that he's a professor at BYU, as was claimed in a previous version of the article. A 2008 Mormon Times article about him (same publisher as his books, Deseret) introduces him as a "religious instructor" and "religious educator". Ohiostandard (talk) 19:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable as an academic or as an author. No reliable sources about him as an individual. He only just got his PhD. His articles at Google Scholar are not cited by others. His books do not seem to be generally available, and Google references to them are totally incestuous, copied from each other. --MelanieN (talk) 15:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Ohiostandard. Where is the source for the claim that the book in question is his "most popular book", anyway? Stonemason89 (talk) 20:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
