Keep. Apparently meets WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF -- multiple books. What is lacking is the article-- he is the author of 5 significant books, the most widely in over 400 copies a/c WorldCat. I've added the others to the article. I;'vee also added some of the reviews. . This is an strong publishing record for an asociate professor; if I had not checked worldcat, I would be !voting delete.

Keep. I was the editor who removed the CSD:A7 template from this article as the article contained a Claim of Notability under
WP:PROF - the existence of a claim (the guidance doesn't require the assessment of the strength of the claim) is all that is required to rule out a speedy deletion and my removal of the CSD template was purely to enable an assessment of the strength of the claim to take place before the article was deleted. I'm now in favour of the permanent retention of this article as there are claims for notability under both
WP:PROF and
WP:AUTHOR. As stated in the comment by
DGG, the article itself is very weak, requiring a lot of work. I was the editor who tagged this article with Notability, Conflict of Interest and RefImprove templates but I do not consider these issues to be grounds for its deletion.

FWIW, in my opinion you did right to remove the A7 speedy.And after you removed the speedy, a tag was placed for the different reason G11, entirely promotional , I removed that one, saying "Factual; not entirely promotional " This is the sort of article that needs discussion. DGG (

Keep, just needs proper sourcing and a rewrite for encyclopedic style, but the sources exist.
