Delete. I found one review of his Ironies of War at
JSTOR40106091, but it's not enough for
WP:PROF or
WP:AUTHOR and I agree with the nominator that there seems to be little else. —

Keep his Homeric translations were reviewed by NPR
[1], also here by the Byrn Mawr Classical review
[2], his translation was used for the
Naxos audiobook of the Illiad and reviewed here
[3], his translation of the Iliad is mentioned here in the
New York Review of Books[4], mentioned here by the University of Chicago library
[5]. His translation of the Iliad in particular seems to be very widely cited (probably because it was made available free online, but why it's significant isn't really the question.)--

Keep per Jahaza, though I do think Ironies of War is probably significant; I haven't found any reviews beyond the one already mentioned (but it is old, so lots of the reviews may be tricky to locate), but I did find
this mention, which is indicative of significance.

Keep. Quite a few reliable sources have been presented over the course of this AFD, so this constitutes substantive coverage. Evidently, Johnston's work has been reviewed and cited by many.
