Non-notable pastor and religious scholar. Does not meet WP:BIO and does not meet WP:NACADEMICS. Tgeairn (talk) 00:58, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I found a couple of books with a single paragraph each discussing his work, and also a mention in a journal, but all of these combined are insufficient to meet WP:BASIC.- MrX 02:05, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet author or academic standards for notability. There is some brief discussion of the article subject in a couple of books and a newspaper I found, but it comes nowhere near significant coverage. Nwlaw63 (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: Not notable as a scholar or expert (unlike, say Walter Ralston Martin). Perhaps surprisingly, he hasn't got an academic position or written a major book. StAnselm (talk) 05:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Testifying to a couple of legislatures and being a pastor are neither of them enough for notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
