I'm not sure whether to apply the test of  or  to this case, but he seems to fail both of them.  What we are claiming as notability is the fact that he published a book about the Apocalypse of St. John that is supposed to have substantially contributed to the field of Protestant exegesis of that book in regards to the eschaton.  While there may be a citation or two out there, a quick Google search of his book https://www.google.com/search?q=Who+is+this+Babylon%3F%2C+A+Study+of+Revelation&oq=Who+is+this+Babylon%3F%2C+A+Study+of+Revelation&aqs=chrome..69i57.1785j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8 has listed as its first and second sources the LDS website, and a commentary of Dr. Scott Hahn's view on the subject of Babylon in the Apocalypse.  A review of his book from a Christian radio network comes up third, and then you have a bunch of other non-related links before the Amazon page comes up at the bottom. Compare this to the certainly notable ''The Late Great Planet Earth'' https://www.google.com/search?q=Who+is+this+Babylon%3F%2C+A+Study+of+Revelation&oq=Who+is+this+Babylon%3F%2C+A+Study+of+Revelation&aqs=chrome..69i57.478j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8#es_sm=91&espv=210&q=the+late+great+planet+earth.  The Google Scholar search that turns up the most results for him shows 4-5 articles most of them being cited one or two times, with the most being five citations in scholarly work http://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=0&q=dkpreston&hl=en&as_sdt=0,34.  I would hardly call his work a substantial development in eschatology, where a scholar search would turns up articles with 100-300+ citations http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=eschatology&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C34.  Regardless of what standard we use, it seems to me that his work has not led to substantial development in his field, either in devotional or academic eschatology, and thus he fails both  and
