I have to admit I really didn't want to see this page deleted. However my searches did not show up anything. The sources here and employer pages and author bios from his publishers. I found a reference or two to his work in scholarly books, but only one footnote among hundreds, nothing to show he would meet Academic criteria 1, and nothing to suggest any other criteria. I did find this November 1999 Church News article that mentions his work and participation in a symposium, but no reviews of his work on the level that would lead to his passing notability guidelines for a writer.

 * Delete. Insufficient notability yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:28, 25 November 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete as I concur, literally nothing here for both WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF, achievements are entirely trivial and unconvincing. SwisterTwister   talk  02:54, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't see what allegation even exist that he has that might make him notable. Writers are not automatically notable. He does not appear to ever have earned a doctorate degree. Also, the position of "bishop" in the LDS is run of the mill, equivalent to "pastor" in most mainline Protestant churches. Bearian (talk) 22:41, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually Marsh does have a Ph.D., the article states this. However that is not generally enough to add toward notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:48, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
