Talk:Todd McGowan

 * Although I agree that the sourcing isn't superb, McGowan clearly meets WP:ACADEMIC notability criteria, in particular the first criterion. He has eight published monographs with over a hundred citations (exceptionally high for literature/film, where the single highest journal H-index is 67), several of which have been translated into other languages, and a cursory search reveals dozens of syllabi at other institutions where one or more of his works are required reading. 25Means (talk) 19:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there! I would suggest you take a look at reviews of his monographs in scholarly journals, as well as critical essays reviewing his work as a whole. I think scholarly journals are generally going to be your best bet for determining the extent of the reception of an academic. I got my claims about citations from checking Google Scholar! And as for the notability criteria I was using, they're listed under WP:ACADEMIC. If you want any help fleshing this article draft out, I can perhaps spare some time in the next few weeks to get it over the line. 08:34, 8 March 2023 (UTC)someones (talk) 09:51, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
