[edit] Darrell Bock

Tagged for clean up since Jan., this article asserts no notablity and fails the The Professor Test. The biggest thing listed is one appearance on Nightline. Arbusto 01:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Books published by Christian publishers such as Baker and Nelson aren't a big deal. The professor test needs facts like academic notablity, sales, etc. Arbusto 04:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Breaking the Da Vinci Code was a New York Times Bestseller. --Brianyoumans 05:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Source it and add it to the article then. Arbusto 05:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Well known Evangelical author. Despite the nom's assetion, Baker and Nelson are well known and legitimate publishers. There is a disturbing theme to this and other nominations being brought forth by the nom. 205.157.110.11 07:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Comment: This "anon" user knows how to sign and use his only edits in the last day to vote for four afds- all which happened to be mine, and all that are created by Jason Gastrich (talk • contribs) who is banned. Arbusto 10:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, if only just for his bestseller, Breaking the Da Vinci Code, which was sold world-wide. Also, need for cleanup is NOT a reason for deletion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, meets WP:BIO as an author.--Isotope23 15:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article looks fine to me, and passes the WP:BIO test. RFerreira 18:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I'd say being a New York Times bestselling author is a pretty strong indication of notability. -Elmer Clark 22:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Sounds like the nom has an underlying motive here. His claim that the article is weak on notability and fails The Professor Test is what is actually weak. Cormedan 20:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is Cormedan's second ever edit, and he has not made one since. Despite his second edit he already knows how to sign his name and vote in a AfD.Arbusto 02:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per all above. This is looking like WP:SNOW Agne 22:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
