Non-notable under WP:NACADEMICS. Searches reveal little other than the fact that he is a professor and has published a few academic works. This does not seem to equal "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources" in my mind.

 * Keep Similar to my vote on this matter this summer, I still think he's notable under WP:AUTHOR. I think he could still be notable as a professor, and I notice that we very rarely delete articles of full professors at reputable universities, but I think the case for WP:AUTHOR is a little more clear. In addition to the reviews of his work, this WorldCat search indicates that one of his books is held in >500 libraries and another is held in >300. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:05, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep Well, he did have a media moment in 2011 on the coattails of Sarah Palin and Paul Revere, when he was quoted in both  American and British papers.  But more ot the point, he passes WP:Creative by dint of being the author of widely and respectfully reviewed books.  And, in my opinion, passes WP:PROF because of being widely cited.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:58, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep His books are widely reviewed. I think he also passes the notability rung of being cited as an expert in the field in the media.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:52, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Having a book publihsed by a unviersity press and another by Longmans (a serious publihser of textbooks) shoul be enough. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:09, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
