[edit] Phillip H. Wiebe

Non-notable professor at Trinity Western University. Delete. -- Spinboy 16:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep — He is a Dean, which places him a cut above. Also a published author. — RJH 18:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Seems to be notable. CalJW 19:10, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non noble. No evidence of Dean-hood. TWU simply says he is the Chair of the Philosophy Dept. The first sentence (of the page's two sentences) of this article was copy&pasted from the bottom of this page which, again, provides no evidence of its claim. Most professors are authors and they become best-sellers by making it required reading in their classes. I've had high school teachers who were authors. --maclean25 20:40, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. RJHall, I don't think being a published author or being a Dean at some a small college makes you notable. (Oddly enough, I see there is a published author who goes by R. J. Hall. Presumably that is another RJH?)---CH (talk) 06:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'll admit that I hadn't heard of this university before, but Wiebe has two books published by the Oxford University Press, both of which I can find in the Swedish National Library catalogue Libris[1], one of them in three copies in different libraries (i.e. somebody bought the books who didn't have to do so). I just found a review on JSTOR of a third one from a different publisher: Theism in an Age of Science (American University Press, Lanham, MD, 1988). I added some bibliographic data to the article.

• Keep Published, head of Uni department. Alf ^melmac 08:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep expanded version per Tupsharru, on the basis of being a substantially published author. Other than that, he doesn't seem to meet the "more notable than the average professor" test from WP:BIO. Barno 23:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity page of non-notable professor of a minor private institution. Being a published author makes one notable? Publication is a requirement for professorship in most institutions, I know lots of grad students who are published authors. -- Corvus 16:20, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
