Fails WP:NACADEMIC No evidence presented of notability in this article and none from a search of him, beyond his mention in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, the sole source for this article, which does not substantiate "a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."

 * Keep and snow. It's a LOT more than a mention in the Australian Dictionary of Biography and that indicates further coverage. Satisfies GNG. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:49, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Snow keep. The entry in a major national biographical dictionary is a more-or-less automatic keep by itself, and the many reviews of his many books also give him an easy pass of WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Snow keep, per David Eppstein. Also note that one of the first google hits under the subject's name is a published obit in the journal PS – Political Science & Politics. Nsk92 (talk) 21:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
