Going by GNG and the notability guidelines for creative professionals and for teachers in higher education, the subject does not seem notable. Most attention in RSes has been about allegations of sexual misconduct, and the only thing in the article apart from the lead is a section about those allegations. Seeing as he's not been convicted of anything and seems to be a fairly low-profile individual, the section is a BLPvio; apart from that, there is no real substance in the article. There is only one ref from RS that's directly about him (cite no. 1) and even that is very bare-bones. Searches on JSTOR and TWL return nothing of note either, so the article should be deleted. W.

- Delete WP:BLPCRIME says that "For individuals who are not public figures..., editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured". If the accusation is the only thing that makes the subject notable, we should not have an article on that topic. Vexations ( talk) 13:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
