There are no sources and nothing really indicating that this individual or their published works are in any way notable. The sourcing is also woefully insufficient for a biography of a living person. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:25, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- The Seventh Day Adventists are regarded by other Christians as a heterodox group, so that their theological work is unlikely to be of interest outside the denomination. If he is a run-of-the-mill Adventist theologian, I would be inclined to say NN. However a few of their leading ones might be notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have been accused of having a COI on this topic elsewhere, so I shall refrain from !voting. That said, the article summarizes his career pretty well. He wrote books. As a theological professor at Andrews University (the main theological center of Seventh-Day Adventism) he's certainly exerted influence. There might be some biographical information to be found at the Adventist Archives ([1]) but other than that there's not a lot of concrete evidence to show notability by Wikiedia's standards. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:14, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
