458:-- General counsel to a major denomination may well be notable in itself. I expect that the 50 books are largely on legal topics. That they should be published by the denominational publishing house is also unsurprising. However, one someone comes across one of the 50, he (she) may want to know who this guy is. Having said that, this is a bad biography: it concentrates too much on background and far too little on what he has done in the course of a career of over 35 years.
325:, a newspaper profile of the subject, is a useful example of reliable, non-trivial source. Similar sorts of pieces from other newspapers or magazines would be helpful, or the equivalent on radio or television, in proportion to the reliability of the source--it need not be the NY Times or 60 Minutes, but a local church's newsletter or a local cable access show would not carry much weight. --

Thanks for the feedback, Peterkingiron! The 50 books are not published by the denominational publishing house - that is Gospel
Publishing House. Richard Hammar's books are published by Christianity Today which has no ties to the Assemblies of God. I will add more about what he has done in his career

Notability. There is a claim of notability... 5o books is a lot to "author", but I didn't find the the claim in the ref & anyway, I would expect decent refs if anybody had bought, read or reviewed any of them. Article needs a good haircut and all.

Goodyear! I have added some additional sources. This is my first page and I would welcome any further changes you might recommend to keep it on wikipedia.

None of the the new sources provides independent, substantial coverage of the subject. They do not provide a reason to suggest that this subject merits an encyclopedia article. --

Hi Hobbes
Goodyear, I've added some sources which I felt were independent. If these are not independent, please consider giving me an example and I will add it.
