No indication for suffcient notability as an academic; sources are the flimsiest of incidental mentions (and I must say that I've never seen the same wedding notice used as three references before...) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:20, 25 June 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:20, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I added to the article 11 published reviews of two of his books (probably with some overlap with the ones listed above by Coolabahapple). I think that's enough for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:24, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that does look like a critical mass. Suggest I'll wait another day or so, then may withdraw. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:15, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
