I find that this article contains a large amount of self serving and in many cases, un-sourced text. Over the coming days I am planning to condense and remove some of this text. Bios of living persons are not meant to be a self serving platform through which the subject's philosophical or religious views are expressed and currently I see a lot of that in the article. Any comments or help with this editing process are welcomed and appreciated.-- — Kbob • Talk • 21:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

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.

I'm not sure what the notability guidelines are. I am a brand new user who created an account to start editing because I haven't edited a page in over 17 years and things have changed since then. In the case of the recommended deletion of this page, I would respectfully ask that it be kept up. I googled this scholar's name, because I wanted to learn more about him before making a decision about whether to purchase one of his books as an academic resource to add to an extensive collection of books I own. He has published several books in his field of scholarship, many of them reference works. Since the field of scholarship is Biblical language and textual criticism, his personal views are actually what people might be looking to discover when researching him. It just makes good sense to understand the biases of contemporary, living scholars when you are reading and citing their literature. I would recommend that a comprehensive list of his works be completed, rather than a mere selected list, and that they be categorized so that it can be easily seen which are textbooks and which are works of fiction. I may get to that myself, now that I have an account and am considering editing Wikipedia articles again. Curious Ip ( talk) 05:42, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
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)
