Untitled

the third resurrection blog was inspired by and named after sherman jackson's recent book. it contains links to talks and articles of proj. jackson and tried to flesh out the implications of his work. it seems relevant.

Blogs are seldom appropriate for sources on Wikipedia. This plus the fact that you linkspammed this and one other blog to quite a few sites seems to me to disqualify it as good source material. Dipics 16:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

first, i don't get paid and I'm not selling a product so we really aren't talking about spam. secondly, what you think about putting a totally different blog on a totally different site isn't really relevant. it makes your removal seem like an ad hominem. The particular blog we are talking about is still very related to Sherman Jackson.

Check out Jackson's resume here. Very notable.Bless sins 22:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I've never heard of him/her. Seems to lack secondary sources.--Sefringle 02:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prof. Jackson is very important as a Muslim scholar. He's easily notable.

PROD contested and removed

Resume here (which is linked in the article) suggested easily notable as an academic. The sourcing could be better, and some inline citations would be good, but this is no PROD candidate. -- Boing! said Zebedee 00:46, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bah, found refs in 1 minute, hence no WP:Before. Accotink2 talk 22:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
