replies: text: The lack of notable third-party references just makes me wonder if the subject would pass Wikipedia:Notability (academics). First Light (talk) 23:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Its' worth considering. He has published a few books and scholarly papers. But his book Facade, for example, is published on Acid Test Press, which appears to be the only book published by the company which leads me to believe the book is self published.  PUblisher specified at AmazonGoogle search for Acid Test Press takes you here....look at the bottom of the web page-- — Keithbob • Talk •  17:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is clearly written by Michael Heiser himself primarily for publicity. It barely cites anything besides his own personal website which functions as little more than a blog, and he meets no notability guidelines. It is no different from the obscure actors who try to give themselves pages by linking to their sparsely filled IMDB page or garage bands who link to their Myspace page and their music on Amazon.

replies: text: normally is done through the WP:AfD process. The above editor tried another method, WP:PROD, which was reverted. I doubt this article will be deleted. I'll add that we prefer views to be provided by using secondary sources meeting WP:RS. This is a better guide to what is encyclopedic and what is not. Doug Weller talk 15:48, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

text: @Curious Ip: You wrote, in part, "... he has published several books in his field of scholarship...." I have found no such book, let alone several books, that  Reverend Heiser has written regarding Bible scholarship. He has not been cited by any Bible scholars; he has written nothing note-worthy that I could find; what he has written is far outside the field of Bible scholarship; the Wikipedia entry he added appears to exist merely to sell his books. If this Wikipedia entry qualifies as a valid article, then so would me adding an article about the books I have written (such as DESERT SOLILOQUY, which is a memoir that also includes original research of the East Mojave Desert's pre-written and written history). I do not meet any Wikipedia entry qualifications, and neither does Reverend Heiser: I observe no reason why this Wikipedia sales brochure should remain on Wikipedia.

thread_title:  Nominating for deletion 

message: The subject of Reverend Michael S. Heiser came up in an elective mythology class at UNM, so I went looking for some of his published work: I cannot find any of note. He is not cited by Bible scholars, nor mythologists. I found only two articles, neither of which have been noted by Bible scholars, neither of which are unique from many tens of thousands of other non-scholarship articles. Ergo, why does this Wikipedia entry exist? There is no evidence, that I can find, that suggests Reverend Heiser is a Bible scholar. Desertphile (talk) 15:18, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Desertphile As above. Doug Weller talk 16:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
