Poorly sourced article that was moved from draftspace into mainspace. A before search returns mostly sources from one site (evolution news). I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:10, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:02, 21 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Delete The only credible source is an interview, which is not an independent source. References to significant coverage in several reliable sources completely independent of Professor Dave are required. Cullen328 (talk) 05:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No evidence of notability and doesn’t meet Wp:GNG — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hackesan (talk • contribs) 11:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Evolution News is a Discovery Institute rag that counts for nothing. Creationists complaining about a scientist don't contribute to that scientist's notability, unless something quite unusual happens and reliable sources actually cover the incident in depth. That said, I could be convinced of a WP:PROF#C7 pass; the evidence isn't solid so far (see for example this), but that would be the way to go. XOR'easter (talk) 21:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
