Oppose proposed deletion. Previous deletion discussions have indicated that full professors carry sufficient notability. It is likely that diocesan bishops are elegible for the same treatment. Sabbatos qualifies on both counts and for an ecumenically prominent role.
Previous deletions are incidentally thinning the content relating to Greek Orthodoxy----Clive Sweeting 29 Dec.2010
It is a biography of a living person (BLP). All BLPs that are created now MUST be referenced - older ones are given more leeway, but this one has existed for almost 2 years without a reference. It is one of the basic pillars of wikipedia - verifiability. Please find a suitable citation, preferably one that satisfies the general notability guideline - significant coverage in a reliable source that is independent of the subject. If you can do that, then the article will remain without issue. If you are unable to find one, then the notability requirement has not been proven and the article will be put up for deletion again via the WP:AFD process.

Clive, in addition to the comments made by User:The-Pope, I'd add that your comment that a full professor is sufficient to establish notability does not appear to be correct as per WP:PROF. If you can point me at which section of WP:PROF you feel this article meets, and add a reliable, secondary source citation to the article demonstrating that, I'd be delighted! Similarly with notability from his "ecumenically prominent" role, if he is "prominent", there is a source that likely shows me that. Show me! Short of that, however, I'll be sending this toward Articles for Deletion, but even during that process, if sufficient, reliable secondary sources are demonstrated, I will cheerfully withdraw my nomination and/or vote "keep". Let me know if I can be of any help in the process. Thank you! --j⚛e deckertalk16:44, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
