 * Keep Article is well sourced and does meet WP:GNG. Sammartinlai (talk) 05:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. A marginal pass of WP:Prof on the basis of the GS profile and a pass of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:09, 13 November 2018 (UTC).
 * Keep The article is notable and in line with WP:GNG based on wikipedia's notability criteria WP:BASIC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mostafa322 (talk • contribs) 19:51, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Contrary to claims above, I don't think the current article on its face passes GNG, as the cited sources are not independent of the subject. The sources seem to consist of journals where Capone works as a co-editor, and his own scholarly work. Nevertheless, I would !vote weak keep, as his editing contributions (specifically, editor-in-chief of a book series at Springer, and editor of a special series within Intercultural Pragmatics) seem tantamount to WP:PROF C8, "head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal". Capone may also satisfy GNG or PROF C1, but the current sources don't show that. Cnilep (talk) 00:50, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment if this discussion closes as a keep, the article should be moved to Alessandro Capone (linguist). Thsmi002 (talk) 02:56, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I'm skeptical that we can use his editorship of a book series that mostly consists of his own edited volumes as evidence of academic notability, nor would his 11 edited volumes themselves count for much. But I found four independent and independently published reviews of his monograph, which may barely be enough for WP:AUTHOR, and a couple of well cited papers goes some way towards WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:18, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Does not appear to satisfy general notability but barely satisfies academic notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert McClenon (talk • contribs)
 * Comment - A draft has also been provided. If this article is deleted, this title should be salted to prevent its re-creation from the draft.  Robert McClenon (talk) 09:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
