Beer Doctors

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Pair of academics who do not pass WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. Article was written by a colleague of theirs. Hoalst Pullen and Patterson have collaborated on academic textbooks and one book for National Geographic. The book for which they're most known, Atlas of Beer, received some press; but no reviews in Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, etc., so I think a redirect and rewrite to the book is also not a good move. JSTOR and Google Scholar searches reveal nothing significant. Hoalst Pullen is editor of Applied Geography, but I don't know that that counts as a major academic journal. If so, perhaps a page move to her name is in order? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect. I found a little press on the atlas, enough to make me think it might be notable:   . But I didn't find enough about these two people, separately from the atlas, to convince me that they are independently notable, through WP:GNG, WP:PROF, or WP:AUTHOR. Perhaps there are reviews of the edited volumes but, as edited volumes, they don't count for enough. Maybe it's WP:TOOSOON: if they write another book on beer that gets enough attention, they can pass WP:BIO1E. And if either one of them becomes notable through scholarly accomplishments, we should have a separate article for that one rather than a joint article as now. But for now, if we have an article on the atlas, we can redirect this term to it, and otherwise delete. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:03, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, as WP:TOOSOON at the least, with no opinion on whether the beer atlas deserves an article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:44, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
