Aaron Parrett

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails both GNG and WP:AUTHOR. The only non-trivial mention is in a local news source. The other refs are from unreliable sources or the author's own website. Alex Eng ( TALK ) 06:45, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Re: WP: GNG... Among many other appearances, author made recent appearance as guest author on Anthony Bourdain's television show, "Parts Unknown."

Re: WP:AUTHOR Consider "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." The author is widely cited by peers.

 * Comment, found a couple of good reviews of Parrett's book The Translunar Narrative in the Western Tradition, in Isis (mentioned in the article) - "Aaron Parrett's Book .. adds to the literary analysis of the lunar narrative,..", and in Science Fiction Studies - "True, Parrett doesn’t thoroughly address his assumption that there is a “tradition” of translunar narratives. .. he has produced a book that moves onwards from Marjorie Nicholson’s study (Voyages to the Moon - added by coola:)) and becomes not just an update but a series of questions about a historical event." and WorldCat shows library holdings of around 125 (not just in US), so could just about have a seperate article on this book.

 * Keep – Looks to be enough supporting references to fit into  the parameters of WP:AUTHOR. NerudaPoet (talk) 23:58, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. As per WP:AUTHOR which indicates "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." The author most certainly is widely cited by peers. A simple Google books search for "aaron parrett" confirms this matter. The very first footnote I clicked on was impressive. I agree with User:NerudaPoet who said: "Looks to be enough supporting references to fit into the parameters of WP:AUTHOR."Knox490 (talk) 00:07, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep under WP:AUTHOR; author of multiple books with non trivial reviews. Here's a sample:

 * The Translunar Narrative in the Western Tradition. Fayter, Paul. ISIS: Journal of the History of Science in Society, Sep 01, 2005; Vol. 96, No. 3, p. 421-422. Reviews the book "The Translunar Narrative in the Western Tradition," by Aaron Parrett... more
