 * Delete: Search shows the subject is not notable. With over 10,000 Anglican Priests the position is not notable. None of the books written by the subject has achieved Notability and notability is not inherited. --  Otr500 (talk) 16:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: This is a weak delete. Had it been there are good sources to verify he wrote those books, this should have slightly meet WP:NAUTHOR. However, priests are not usually notable except in major cases of appointment in major offices verifiable by source per WP:GNG. This article is a good case of not meeting good sourcing for Wikipedia's inclusion. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 02:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
