Doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG/ Published author, but that doesn't make him notable. Boleyn (talk) 21:03, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- His views are distinctly FRINGE, though not notorious enough for an article to be needed because of that. Clearly not a reputable historian or theologian. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:00, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 23:50, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nomination. No secondary sources discussing him or his work. Most of his books appear to be self published. Managed to find a review of his book but not from a reliable source and, even if it was, would not justify this article. Vladimir.copic (talk) 01:25, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I just noticed that the creator of the article, User:Andy Tomlinson, appears to have some kind of personal connection to Lawton and is listed as a contributor to one of his books. Vladimir.copic (talk) 01:31, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO and is written like an advertisement. FiddleheadLady (talk) 15:26, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
