Non-notable academic. Three references to his faculty webpage, "God's Bible School and College", and one to an Amazon listing of, presumably, his book. Fails WP:NACADEMIC, no WP:GNG. Was Prodded, but here we are. Tagishsimon (talk) 16:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't meet SNG for academics. Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 17:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, possibly speedy A7. It would be unusual indeed if a PhD candidate passed WP:NPROF; no sign of any other notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:21, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not even close to meeting inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:21, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The supposed Amazon "book" is listed as 21 pages and self-published; it has no citations and no reviews that I can find. Google Scholar finds only one publication by Nicholas M. Black (there are other Nicks or Nicholases Black with more, making it difficult to search other variants of his name), an uncited and unpublished manuscript. I agree with the comment above: this is not even close to passing any WP:PROF criterion, nor is any other form of notability visible. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:11, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Getting into no credible claim of significance territory. XOR'easter (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per alll above. Setreis (talk) 20:19, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - searches did not turn up enough to pass WP:GNG, and certainly doesn't pass either WP:NSCHOLAR or WP:NAUTHOR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:05, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no indication of passing any of the relevant notability guidelines, a borderline A7 case. The bit "an editor of a major work on the doctrine of Sanctification, and that of Wesleyan theology, with other religious works upcoming" suggests a possible COI situation as well, especially since the subject doesn't have a webpage.

Delete. No evidence of PROF or GNG notability. --Tataral (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- According to the WP page God's Bible School and College has a mere 320 students. I find it hard to believe that an ordinary staff member is likely to be notable (unless for other reasons): a principal might possibly be. The subject is currently a doctoral student, which suggests a junior staff member. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable 'academic'; poorly sourced, for a reason. Could have been A7 speedied, IMO. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
