 * Comment. The subject's 1984 work, The semantics of English spatial prepositions has 263 citations in GS, although it appears to be a PhD thesis, and so presumably won't have received book reviews. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't think a well-cited doctoral dissertation is enough by itself for academic notability and there doesn't seem to be much else. Even this puff piece from his alma mater thanking him for a donation (unusable as a reliable source, I think) doesn't have much to say about the rest of his academic career except that he took a position at a place where his administrative and teaching duties prevented him from doing much else. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the comments above. The doctoral dissertation does not qualify one for notability. Go4thProsper (talk) 21:53, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
