 * Sorry, I do not understand the reason for the deletion. Andrew Solomon is internationally recognized and notable author of at least of three excellent books on William Blake. --Dmitrismirnov (talk) 11:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please offer independent reliable sources to support what you are saying. This would be things like independent reviews of this person's work in the field. 331dot (talk) 11:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Here is Andrew Solomon's biographical entry that supports my opinion on him in the Russian philological journal "Language. Philology. Culture"  . There are two very special articles of him published in the magazine in English as well as in Russian translation. They are also available online:  and  --Dmitrismirnov (talk) 13:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The link is to Russian publishing house that prints books for profit, making authors to pay. It's hardly a reliable source. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:18, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I will try to find an independent expert as well. --Dmitrismirnov (talk) 14:00, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Writing some books on Blake does not make a person notable.--Rpclod (talk) 13:22, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence is offered of the "international recognition" of this person's work. 331dot (talk) 14:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete feel free to ping me to reconsider if I'm missing something. But, as far as I can see, Solomon is published several books about Blake with a small press Palamabron Press, but I can't find any mention of Solomon on JSTOR and, although he died in 2017, I can't find an obit.  To be sure, there is a very notable Andrew Solomon who dominates searches, but searching with keyword: Blake failed to turn up sources.  And even searches on his book To Build Jerusalem turned up only teh online journal of The Blake Society.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:03, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello to everybody. I am PhD in Philology, I'm from Russia and I'd like to tell that Andrew Solomon is worth the Wiki page as a Blake scholar. His book is interesting, and I discovered much new things translating his article to Russian, to publish it in our journal "Language. Literature. Culture" (Yazyk. Slovesnost'. Kui'tura). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rintra (talk • contribs) 16:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
