Vanity bio with no indication of notability per WP:BIO, WP:ACADEMIC, or WP:NSPORT for his work as a basketball chaplain. Sources are all primary or unreliable, apart from a NYT reference with a passing mention of his book, and I can see no significant coverage of him online in WP:RS. The notability of the award he's claimed unsourced to have won is unclear, and the only sources I can find for him winning it are his own website and other unreliable sources. Article creator blocked for undisclosed paid editing and probable sockpuppetry. Capewearer (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
