The result was Keep (NAC) This has gone on long enough; on reading through the !votes, it seems to me that the subject's publications allow him to (barely) pass GNG. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:30, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Maybe delete for now as I found some links at Books and browser but nothing convincingly better. Pinging past users, , and  and also  who is interested with these subjects.  SwisterTwister   talk  07:31, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep 4 books, not rigorously academic but very respectable, from a major Christian publisher--the most widely held is in 274 libraries. I consider this a respectable record, but it will need reviews of the books to make sure. User:DGG
 * Comment I was just acting on behalf of an IP 173.183.69.145 to reverse the prod, but I myself had no opinion. I assume that 173.183.69.145 want to keep this at this point too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:42, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * weak keep There are book reviews for example at https://allforthegloryofhiskingdom.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/a-review-of-can-we-be-good-without-god-by-paul-chamberlain/ and http://www.doesgodexist.org/NovDec00/ and many others use it as a reference.

 * Delete as prodder. We have to do something about self-published books and self-promotional wiki pages. Google search only gets pages cribbing from this one and other promotional sites like YouTube. Google News gets the wrong Paul Chamberlain for non-notable things. This person doesn't meet any of Wikipedia's policies yet, and probably never will. 15:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DreamGuy (talk • contribs) 15:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment., sorry, but your comment is a total non sequitur. Baker Books and Intervarsity Press are major publishers of Evangelical Christian books, they're not self-publishing in the least.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 18:05, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
