Comment. I don't know anything about this. However, Theodore M. Drange references the argument in this book. Michael Martin also uses it in this book. If notable philosophers are using it, maybe the concept is notable. It would be nice if someone who knows what they're talking about commented about these sources.

Keep There is also the Philo paper Incompatible-Properties Arguments: A Survey that looks like a reasonable secondary source for incompatible properties in a religious context and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has an article on Change and Inconsistency that discusses incompatible properties in a philosophical metaphysical context. The books found by NRP in addition to these sources shows there seems to be enough reliable sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG and to write a modest article. If the sourcing is there, the article has WP:SURMOUNTABLE problems and can be improved. On that basis, a marginal keep. --Mark viking (talk) 20:12, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
