Does not appear to be a noteworthy professor, lacks multiple reliable sources in which to build an article. PROD removed as "probably notable as both WP:PROF and WP:CREATIVE," but a search for sources to support this was lacking. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:47, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep if he's not notable as a professor his authorship of several books makes him notable. Discussed for example here. Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:43, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep holder of named chair at University of Virginia, (in fact, the successive holder of several named chairs at several universities), and therefore unquestionably notable. Source is his official CV, which, though not third party, is reliable. I could probably find the campus newspaer or press release, but that's no more reliable, even less. because those sources tend to be inexact. An article showing publishing several books by major international publishers translated into other languages is normally notable , and questioning what can be easily proven is not all that helpful, though additional sources never hurt. I do not deprod without good reason.  DGG ( talk ) 21:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable as a professor (named chair), CV for academics are reliable, impressive publications. --I am One of Many (talk) 02:41, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I added refs to 3 reviews of his work in scholarly journals. There's plenty more that could be added. Meets WP:PROF, as already noted. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:55, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as clearly above. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:16, 30 April 2014 (UTC).
