 * Keep per notability (WP:CREATIVE) as author and educator.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. A googlescholar search (which is usually absolutely terrible in fishing out citations in humanities) gives significant results for him, in particular with 348 cites for his book "The rhetoric of science". Googlebooks search results are also impressive 296 hits. I also did some searching in WorldCat, which is mainly a book holdings search but also has some (rather incomplete) data about journal articles. There are 27 journal articles listed there with reviews of his work, including review articles called "Rereading Aristotle's Rhetoric, Alan Gross and Arthur Walzer" and the like. This already tells me that he is quite a notable figure in his field. Clearly passes criterion 1 of WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 03:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
