Subject appears to fail to meet WP:NACADEMICS, as discussed with the article's creator and others at User:Jcstanley/my articles. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:14, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:PROF #5 as a named chair at a major institution (even though it is only an associate professorship). Also has an honorary doctorate from Austin College. StAnselm (talk) 19:02, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. GS citations negligible. Institution is too minor to qualify for WP:PROF #5. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC).
 * Hardly a "minor institution". It's one of the Seminaries that Change the World". StAnselm (talk) 07:05, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * With only 450 students that's pretty impressive. But check the source. Xxanthippe (talk) 07:19, 13 April 2016 (UTC).
 * Hold the sarcasm, please. Small colleges, especially small, freestanding graduate faculties, can be significant institutions.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:14, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep With the professorship, and news coverage found in a proquest search (oddly, far more productive than google news search in this instance). But especially impressed by hits on books google search (which, as you know, are by no means exhaustive, merely indicative), particularly persuasive are the citations to and discussion of his work and reuse of his preaching .E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:47, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep (but only just). A named post as associate professor; 5 books and 5 articles; this is to my mind just about enough to keep, but it is at a knife edge.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:39, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
