Comment: The sourcing has been improved, but there's still a lot of primary sources or references that only establish something's existence (like the WorldCat entry). The reviews are much better sources, but they only engage with a couple aspects of his work, and don't show that they've had a "significant impact...broadly construed" per WP:PROF ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 02:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Sources are mostly works by the subject, not about the subject, and are insufficient to establish notability. Also see WP:PROF. Greenman (talk) 10:26, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
