Non notable priest, somehow connected to Near Eastern archaeology. Maybe we should redirect it to Near Eastern archaeology. Hajme 09:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment So many unreliable souces are present on web; some are in non-English. It's not clear whether they mention the same person or different persons with the same  name.--  C E  (talk) 17:31, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak delete -- The question is whether he qualifies as an academic. I am afraid that I am doubtful as to whether he does.  A few dissertations is certainly not enough.  Apart from that he appears to have published a handful of articles.  A redirect to his subject is unhelpful to users, as he has studied spcific aspect of it.  Brill and Continuum are academic publishers.  If he looked as if he had produced one or more entire books, I would probably have voted to keep, but I do not think he has crossed the threshold of notability.

 * Weak delete with the "weak" being mainly that I have no confidence in finding appropriate sources. However, of the sources listed, most are his own writings, and I don't see anything that would raise him to wp:academic levels. LaMona (talk) 21:26, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * keep The American Schools of Oriental Research is an online newsletter of Near Eastern archaeology, he can be sourced to it for being mentioned as a working archaeologist   And to other archaeological websites as well [].  Plus he does have a WP page in Finnish, and a substantial publication record.  Writing a better article would require reading sources in Finnish.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment E.M.Gregory, I looked at your links and the FI Wikipedia page (which only sources to his own writings, some of which are unpublished theses). I don't think anyone has questioned whether the person exists, just whether the person is notable. The only links are to his own work, and mentions. He fails at WP:ACADEMIC, and also fails for general notability. I appreciate that you work hard to save articles, but I still don't think this one passes muster.

 * Still weak delete -- Even after looking at Finnish WP (a language that I do not understand), I do not think he has done or published enough to be notable. Certainly he has published a few articles and perhaps a couple of theological works, but no way doies that lift him to the level of WP:ACADEMIC.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
