Effectively unreferenced BLP that I had trouble finding any independent sources for. Prodded as promotional with self-interested sources, prod was seconded, and then was contested. Gigs (talk) 03:00, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, on this one. Noble idea, interesting idea, certainly innovative. But unfortunately, he's not really notable. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:16, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that this is particularly relevant to your vote, but in what way is advocating discrimination against nonchristians innovative? —David Eppstein (talk) 04:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse prod, er, I mean delete due to lack of non-trivial coverage from reliable third parties. JBsupreme (talk) 20:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep worldcat lists 20 separate books about him [1], as well as 23 theses [2] How anyone can then say there are no sources for notability escapes me entirely. (I will say I am a little surprised; although I did not expect to find anything, and certainly not this much, I looked anyway) DGG ( talk ) 00:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep per DGG. JoshuaZ (talk) 03:32, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. He's one of the key writers in the field. I'll see if I can add some references. StAnselm (talk) 00:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per DGG. Warrah (talk) 04:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I've added quotations from Derek Tidball and John F. MacArthur to the article in order to establish notability. StAnselm (talk) 04:42, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
