A google search does not have any clear hits to this article. Moreover, there is a question of failing to meet notability guidelines for this article. Siva1979Talk to me 04:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep He is mentioned in Acts 20:9-12. I'm unclear as to the notability requirements for Biblical persons. Chubbles 05:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I added a link which indicates that he has been the subject of at least some scholarly discussion. Chubbles 05:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Did you actually just do a google test for a lesser known biblical character? These people are prime fodder for encyclopedia articles. —Xezbeth 05:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral I'm not sure if religious subjects can be considered under WP:FICT or WP:NOTE, but then again I'm not sure if an encyclopedia should have pages for every character in every religious text out there. I'd be glad to vote Keep if there are some more sources out there that'll establish notability. Corpx 06:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, has a stub entry in the Columbia Encyclopedia. We are not paper let alone a single print volume and we can probably do better than that. 800 Google Books results. --Dhartung | Talk 08:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per outcome of Almodad; in short, even the most obscure person mentioned in the bible has had much said about them over the millennia. John Vandenberg 08:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
