Comment -- I agree with
Peterkingiron. I came to add a page for Sam Waldron partly due to his role in the start of this seminary (there are two of other seminaries that use the same model IRBS and RBS). CBTS is interesting because it turned a congregational pastor mentoring center, at Heritage Baptist Church in Owensboro, in to a seminary. The local training center that became CBTS it seems was formed on the model provided by Albert N. Martin's Trinity Training Academy, now defunct after his retirement, that previously resided along side the [
Trinity Classical School] at Trinity Baptist Church in Mountville, NJ. The previous Heritage Pastor, Ted Christman, and Sam Waldron were both connected to this program. Additional motivation for adding his page is due to his apparent role in shaping the theological viewpoint the above institutions embrace. The problem with citing this influence is that he is the author of much of the content thus it is not "independent". I am not connected to this group of folks but, looking at the group, the lines are clearly connected. He is the one who gives the "modern" theological defenses for many of the particulars that these three seminaries and their associated churches stand on: the regulative principle of the church, Plurality of Elders, a modern exposition of the
London Baptist Confession of faith 1689 on which they all stand. It is a narrow (but growing) corner that these schools fit in: namely carrying out their belief that a to-be pastors's training in practical ministry should be done that person's pastors and thus, the role of the seminary is to provide what a local church's pastors cannot: academic rigor. Given the small subset of schools who actually do this, once a predominant "modern" defense of attending principles is made, others don't need to write another "modern" defense. Which means there is not a lot to cite on the importance of the individual's contribution to the movement that is forming.

Keep I can't evaluate this page for deletion as the nom provided no rationale for deletion and with that it's nearly impossible to argue for keep or delete. Are we arguing under
WP:GNG,
WP:NAUTHOR or
WP:NPROF? If
WP:NPROF he qualifies by being president of his seminary, although that is a rather tenuous keep. My larger point is there is not real way to discuss this properly as nomination is unclear. snood1205(

Draftify Whether or not the nominator said so, the rationale for deletion is obvious: he meets none of the relevant notability criteria. They could be either WP:PROF nor WP:author nor WP:ANYBIO. We can evaluate all of them. The head of a small seminary is not the head of a major institution intended by WP:PROF. As author, there's an inadequately sourced assertion that he wrote a standard book in his religious denomination. For anybio, there's no substantial coverage. But the assetions in the discussion above would indicate he might be notable--if they were in the article. I suggest that the simplest course would be to draftify so they can be added. DGG (
