This article should be kept because Scriven is the President of a significant accredited college and also the Chair of a quite influential Adventist non-profit. Surely Presidents of colleges are significant enough to be written about? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eraoihp (talk • contribs) 16:23, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep President of two fairly important Adventist colleges, meets WP:PROF. We normally interpret "major academic institution" to mean anything over the trivial level--if it meant research university, or even university, it would have said so. DGG ( talk ) 16:34, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
