- Weak delete. I don't see any coverage of him, so the only item to consider is WP:NAUTHOR. No indication of any awards or such.

- Keep as passes WP:NAUTHOR criteria 1 (only one criteria needed) as prominent in his field, in this case Preterism imv Atlantic306 (talk) 16:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)]
- Which criteria does it allegedly pass? You've used the same reason for multiple AFD's, but never showed how. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep -- That is a long list of publications. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:26, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
