No indication given of this author's notability. He exists, but is not by the info given notable, inside the insular world of Mormon publishing. (Greg Kofford Books is connected to Seagull Book, a mormon concern.) refs show only that he exists, when they are valid at all. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kofford Books is an indepepndent book store, the claim that it is connected with Seagull Books is not based on fact. Beyond that, even if it was the argument would bwe built on a projection model that ignores the function of independence that characteriszed Seagull Book for most of its history. he books that Hales writes are the seminal works in the field. These are important books.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't find anything and if he were notable, I would. This is a pretty crowded field, although people outside LDS culture don't see much of it. He's written a lot of stuff and done a lot of work, but... I don't see his influence getting very far. - Richfife (talk) 05:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
