Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Watson (creationist)
I have been asked by Eastmain to "revisit" my original opinion above.

As to sources ''not yet'' in the article, ''The Creationists'' does mention him three times, but the only solid mention for his being fired from a teaching position for incompetence (the other two are a bare mention & a quote from him on Morris' & Whitcomb's books). The Answers in Genesis piece that GRBerry http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v13/i1/hunting.asp links to is ''by Watson'', not about him.

The biblicalstudies.org.uk piece (which is at best a questionable source) simply has him in a table of answers to 7 questions, and does not discuss him any further than that. Does this amount to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (per ) or Watson's meeting any of the criteria of . The answer is still no (so my opinion is still "delete
