The author is a minister and adjunct professor, , which do not satisfy notability alone. He seems most notable as an author, with a few books that sound interesting, but he does not seem to satisfy WP:Bio. The bio information about him in the few book reviews I found just repeats text from his book. Edison (talk) 02:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article fails WP:GNG and is written in a promotional style due to being mostly focused on his books - not the worst promotional style ever, mind you, but not very encyclopedic. Needs cleanup if kept, but I'm not sure what's there to clean up. SportingFlyer T·C 11:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep seems to be some critical discussion of his work [1] and [2]. Author in a rather small field of theology, so sourcing is limited to begin with. Oaktree b (talk) 13:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm finding a handful of short reviews for the first book, but not for the second (and the review I did find for that one implies that the author is a bit fringe). I'm not seeing any reviews of significant length, so I don't see much for WP:NAUTHOR, and certainly not WP:NPROF. -- asilvering (talk) 07:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are insufficient sources to write a properly balanced article on this subject. Eluchil404 (talk) 05:03, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
