The article is for a notable scholar (based on the publication record that I was easily able to find), but nothing in it is remotely verifiable by the creator's own admission ("Statements made in lecture"). It's sort of a weird twist on a vanity page. 121a0012 06:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete unless better evidence of notability provided (e.g., cite the books for verification) and quotes with reliable sources added. Quotes from lectures should not be included unless they are documented by some reliable publication, rendering the current article useless to us. Also, not every college professor is notable by Wikimedia standards. The lack of a Wikipedia article is not promising. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete on grounds of unverifiability. The man has had two books published by a reputable firm, as can be seen here and here. And here is a article on him, from which you might decide on Loy's notability.  Personally I would be happy to see an article of quotations from his books, but not from his lectures.
