• Keep. Notability established by two-times winning in 2003 and 2015 the James D. MacConnell Award — the highest award conferred by the Association for Learning Environments, A4LE (they only award one school project per year); the source (A4LE's web site) confirming these two awards is (per WP:INDEPENDENT) an independent, albeit a primary source. Also, the article subject seems to be an often-cited authority on school design: his 2009 book The Language of School Design: Design Patterns for 21st Century Schools is cited 372 times, his 2014 book Blueprint for Tomorrow: Redesigning Schools for Student-Centered Learning is cited 75 times.

• I'm not suggesting he isnt notable, but the article fails the policy on living people. Rathfelder (talk) 00:05, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added a few independent references to the article. Does this alleviate your original concern? Yamfri (talk) 16:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
