– Not a primary topic. There are a duke and a sailor. Shall I present low view stats to prove my point? --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 05:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 19:14, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree that this is not the primary topic - I've often wondered about the naming of this page. I'm not sure "pastor" is the best term - "minister" would be better, and he is best known as an author and publisher. StAnselm (talk) 20:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree that "minister", "author", or "publisher" would probably be better. Perhaps "author" would be best, since the article seems to consist primarily of a list of the books he has written – for which some indication that they are noteworthy would be an improvement, by the way. If he is primarily notable as a publisher and the books are basically self-published and non-notable, the list of the books he wrote should be removed, since that is dominating the article. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Iain Murray (author) then. AFAICT, he would be independently notable as both an author and a publisher. The books are certainly not self-published, and a quick look at Google Scholar indicates that he is well-cited as a church historian. StAnselm (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
