Notability tag

Twilsonb, are you able to help establish its WP:NOTABILITY (WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG)? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 06:15, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boleyn, the Open English Bible has been published online, and doesn't have an ISBN. However, it forms the basis for the bible text in [A New, New Testament], which is notable because:

It has been published with an ISBN
It has been mentioned by The Huffington Post, Religion News Service and The New York Times
It is the subject of third-party interviews by The Westar Institute and Wisconsin Public Radio

So I suggest that we move this article to A New, New Testament, and incorporate the existing content into a section entitled #Open English Bible. twilsonb (talk) 08:13, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And then place a redirect from Open English Bible to #Open English Bible, of course! twilsonb (talk) 08:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article meets notability. The World English Bible, a very similar project, doesn't have any references, and this one is used as the base of other works making changes to it in that book. -- Callinus (talk) 08:08, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the above sources are usable, some are not. The good ones should actually be included in the article, because as it stands, this is a poorly sourced article and notability is not obvious. The WEB's similarities and shortcomings are not a good precedent to follow, and that article's talk page shows that it's not a settled issue there, either.

I've restored the notability and reference tags. There is still a serious lack of quality sources demonstrating the notability of this translation. If Hal Taussig's book is notable (which seems reasonable, based on sources) then it could have an article, but the existence of a work which references it doesn't automatically bestow notability. If reliable, independent sources, such as would meet WP:NB cannot be found for this work it should be considered for deletion. Grayfell (talk) 03:33, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again (or still) the article needs reliable, independent sources about this translation. Not passing mentions, and not editors' individual assertions that it's notable. Grayfell (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
