 * Hi @Swashblue, I have accepted this article, because it was clear to me that the subject is notable and deserves an article. However, I would encourage you urgently to do some more work on this, because it is not really well enough sourced, and that always means somebody could still tag it for deletion. You need footnotes showing the impact of this scholar. One way to do this is that for each of his books that you list under select bibliography you could have a footnote referencing a review in a major scholarly journal (preferably one available on-line, but doesn't need to be). Another would be to find references to him in national newspapers, if he has ever been part of any controversy that was widely reported on. When I googled, the first thing I found was the Van Riemsdijk Foundation, and I was surprised you didn't write about this - if it is as serious as it looks at first sight, it must be mentioned in major publications, which again you can cite. One other thing I would really encourage you to do, though it may be a little time-consuming, is to reformat the bibliography using the cite book and cite journal templates. Let me know if you need help in doing this. Thanks so much for this contribution. --Doric Loon (talk) 20:45, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
