Kurt Wise[edit]

Noted only for being a creationist and for teaching at a notable college --Ruby 01:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete insufficiently notable although he gets a few Google Scholar hits for Baraminology and some 100 Ghits for same. Dlyons493 Talk 01:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: If 'he' were to try and suppress my views I would holler like hell ( whoops ... A Freudian slip there!!) So why should I want to suppress his?--Aspro 01:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to supress his views, I want a WP article about a non-notable teacher to go away. --Ruby 02:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is notable enough for Richard Dawkins, perhaps the world's most prominent evolutionary theorist, to write an article about him and his views. (See the link in the article.) dbtfz ^talk 01:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the Dawkins article does it. -- Jonel | Speak 03:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable young earth creationist, and highly notable for actually having a relevant degree. JoshuaZ 05:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Unusual story of a creationist with a background in paleontology -- I think he's notable as a result, especially if he's written about by evolutionists. -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 08:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Samir. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per most other keep comments. Monicasdude 16:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Notable in that many anti-creationists question the credentials of creationists. Here's one with a degree in science from a prestigious university. Logophile 15:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep He's the only person to earn a Ph.D. under Steven Jay Gould and still believe in a young age for creation. Just because he does not covet the spotlight does not make him and his accomplishments not notable.
