Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nelson H. Barbour
Couldn't disagree more. Barbour has long been recognized as very influential in the field of religious studies, especially in the history of the Adventist movement and the Bible Students (one group of which became the Jehovah's Witnesses). Just some works that highlight this: Dr. George Chryssides (''Jehovah's Witnesses:Continuity and Change'' 2016 Ashgate Publishing); Dr. Zoe Knox (''Jehovah's Witnesses and the Secular World'' 2018 Palgrave Macmillan); and Dr. M. James Penton (''Apocalypse Delayed: The Story of Jehovah's Witnesses'' 1985, 3rd Edition 2015 University of Toronto Press). And those are only the books I literally have on my desk at this moment, all by respected scholars in the fields of religious studies and history. There are more. While the article certainly needs work, and I will dedicate what time I have atm to improving it, he is noteworthy enough to have an article. Definitely passes  and
