 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * WP:AUTHOR does not explicitly recognize library holdings as a threshhold for notability. Likewise, academic reviews of books, such as those referenced above, are not usually considered when determining wider impact or importance within a field unless those reviews specifically note, discuss, and cite that impact. Citations within other studies or research is a slightly better measure of impact or regard within a field, but is still not a guarantee of notability as an academic or a general author. Broader coverage or proof of substantial impact of these works would be required. LaMenta3 (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
