Unable to find SIGCOV in reliable sources during a BEFORE search. Huge amounts of blog content, especially on Patheos blogs, but nothing significant in actual RS, other than mentions. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:22, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. Non-notable and the only sources come from blogs/the church itself. ArdynOfTheAncients (talk) 20:56, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a rationale for speedy deletion. Jclemens (talk) 21:21, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep James White is a theologian who was written multiple books and is a well known apologist, when I am home I may try to find more sources for the article. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 11:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I found multiple sources that talk about James White and added them to the article. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 12:01, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism: A History of Conflict Between Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism from the Early Church to Our Modern Time is published by WestBow, a self publishing outfit.[1] WHY PROTESTANT BIBLES ARE SMALLER: A Defense of the Protestant Old Testament Canon is another independently published book from a self publishing outfit.[2] The Critique of Religion and Religion’s Critique: On Dialectical Religiology has a single sentence mention. This site is not independent, since he's a teacher there. Lastly you added this, which is sourced to a media ministry that serves Christ by explaining and defending the Catholic faith.
  
  We need significant coverage, independent of the article subject, in reliable sources. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  This recently added source is a self published source, and is by someone who was debating White. Not independent, doesn't establish notability. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:20, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This reference on a broad catholic site here should not be dismissed as it is independent critical analysis, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Ridiculous nomination which hasn't followed WP:BEFORE. Obviously, one must search carefully because it is a common name, but GS cites are very high for this field: 68, 59, 41, 36, 25, etc. St Anselm (talk) 23:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is some coverage in news articles: [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. St Anselm (talk) 23:51, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing those sources, it's appreciated. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:04, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
