 * – ( View AfD View log )

Associate professor at a not-terribly-important university. Has written a few books, but they don't seem like they've had a major impact. H-index of 4 according to google scholar.

 * Delete Early career academic. GS h index of 4. Too early yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep, he has many hits on GoogleBooks and several on GoogleNews citing his as an expert and quoting his books. I have added 3 references to the article and there are many more out there. J04n(talk page) 22:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak delete. In Google news archive, I find only a few trivial mentions of him and a very brief review of one of his books in the New York Daily News . I don't think that's enough for WP:GNG, and I don't see the evidence of substantial scholarly impact needed to pass WP:PROF. But he undoubtedly exists, has written some books, and is occasionally cited as an expert for them. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
