No evidence of notability. I can't access source 1 (a who's who) and 2 (a specialist directory), source 3 is about another priest where Raphael is quoted at length but isn't the subject of any attention about him, source 4 is a passing mention, and source 5 I can't access but is a section of routine reporting. Many other passing mentions can be found online, but nothing that looks to be significantly about him. Fram (talk) 12:41, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do not support deletion, Wikipedia would be poorer without this article. Many, if not most deans have articles and for the sake of completeness and being able to follow succession in the office of dean the article should remain. Wayne Jayes (talk) 14:11, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If the other deans have similar notability, perhaps their articles should be deleted as well instead. Fram (talk) 14:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the non-binding guideline WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. However I can't see how Wikipedia will be improved by the deletion of this article. It is factual, has a neutral point of view and has adequate adequate references. I don't believe that just blindly follwing the WP:Notability guieline is always the right thing to do.

Delete as I'm not seeing anything particularly suggestive of his own notable article. SwisterTwister talk 07:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
