Scott L. Harris

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable pastor of local church, former professor, and author. Does not meet WP:BIO, WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. Has been cited in footnotes of the works of others (as article notes), but I do not believe this qualifies as making an "enduring historical record in his or her specific field" BaronLarf 08:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment. This is hard to evaluate, but the items listed under "contributions" may be enough to pass the "enduring historical record" test. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. This is a well-documented article, but the references do not add up to notability. He has had original ideas, but obviously not ones that have taken the world of Old Testament studies by storm. Looking at the nine criteria in WP:PROF, Harris doesn't satisfy any of them. I'm doing graduate study in Old Testament, looking at the Book of Samuel and I hadn't heard of him - citations of his work are actually quite sparse. StAnselm (talk) 01:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
