No indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. I am unable to find discussion of the individual in multiple reliable sources. --- Avatar317 (talk) 21:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep The article appears to be well-researched. When I try the Books and Scholar searches, I find the subject in multiple different ways, such as being cited in other literature, or where his books are used as material in classroom settings. Those may not be RS, but in terms of notability we have some evidence. I see the article as a relevant addition to a comprehensive encyclopedia.--Concertmusic (talk) 16:03, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak redirect to Catholic Answers. I don't think he meets WP:NAUTHOR, which is the only SNG that seems relevant, and there's not enough in-depth coverage for WP:BASIC (although, currently cited in the article, is a start). AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 18:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as there enough reliable religious sources cited in the article that have significant coverage of him such as Patheos, and Catholic Sun, so he passes WP:GNG and therefore deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:01, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I just added an additional book source for the biographical details to reduce reliance on Catholic.com. I will try to do some more of this. There are quite a bit of sources to go through on Staples. Avemaria81 (talk) 04:40, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
