[edit] Dave Armstrong

I didn't place this template, but the editor who did is editing from an IP address. This article has been the focus of frequent POV edits and there have been issues with establishing notability. He is apparently an author, but is "notable" mainly for his blog. I don't believe the requirements of WP:N have been met and I think the page was mainly established as an attack page anyway (note the frequent edits over whether or not his job as a "home spa salesman" should be included in the lead). janejellyroll 02:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete non notable. --Daniel J. Leivick 03:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - He does meet WP:BIO as being a guest on a notable talk show and is the author of several published books. Mkdw^talk 04:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Being on a talk show and being an author does NOT meet WP:BIO requirements. The article itself admits that he is only 'relatively known' in a certain niche of Catholic blogs. Notability has not been established yet. --The Way 06:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:BIO, it doesn't mean you have written a book and being on a show gives you an article. Also, no notability is established at all. Terence Ong 12:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• delete , notability not established --Isolani 15:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. The page is nothing more than a blogger and self-publisher trying to create his own notability through Wikipedia.24.27.7.198
• Delete non notable. Agree with the above. There is no way this should be an encyclopedia entry Leofff
• Delete per editors re:notability. JCO312 00:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep* He meets the wp:bio. He is well known in his field (Catholic Apologetics), has made significant contributions in it through published articles as well as several published books that make Amazon top 100 in Catholic theology frequently as of 1:18 Jan 18, 2007, a books he authored or contributed to are at number 20, 38, and 72.
