Simply being a published professor, is not, in it of itself notable, also fails WP:V due to a lack of non-trivial third party sources. 2 says you, says two 14:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was president of his college. That's a pass of WP:PROF right there. Closing admin should move to Homer Kent, however. Ray^Talk 22:14, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He clearly passes WP:PROF. Doesn't need deleting, just more references. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 11:01 12 November 2010 (UTC)
Weak delete. College has only 160 students. WP:Prof#C6 refers to major academic institution. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- Actually he was prez of both the college and seminary; seminary presently has 160, while the college presently has about 1300 students. I don't know what our definition of "major" is though. Definitely should be moved if kept. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 04:07, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of on the borderline, I would think. If there were anything else it would help, but there doesn't seem to be. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep and move to Homer A. Kent, Jr.. Kent is a prolific author who is widely quoted in the world of biblical study [1], although I would have said that he was notable simply for being President of Grace College and its seminary. Granted, the snivelling, "would it be ok if we have an article?" language of WP:PROF leaves the question open, qualifying even a presidency with the addition that one has to be president of a "significant" accredited college or university. That's consistent with the self-loathing that one finds throughout Wikipedia:Notability (academics); apparently, there are people who worry about whether their college is "significant enough".

Those are not quotes they are ads. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

It's from Google books, not an advertisement. Maybe this will illustrate it better [2]. Mandsford 21:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
