Fails WP:NPROF, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:BASIC. Not an endowed chair, low citations on Scholar. I found two reviews of his books, one of which is an edited volume—, —but nothing else substantive. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:26, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I found one more review of an authored book, and the publisher page for The Pen and the Sword claims that it is reviewed in Choice (journal) (verification appears to require a subscription). That still looks light to me for WP:NAUTHOR, but it is getting closer. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep notability both as a professor prominent within his field (cultural hegemony), with published works in this field and as a journalist with nationally prominent publications. Torchist (talk) 16:07, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I'm not seeing enough reviews for WP:NAUTHOR, and I see little evidence of citation impact for WP:NPROF C1.  The article looks autobiographical enough that WP:TNT is not irrelevant, which helps to bring me to the delete side. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:24, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I did several searches and found nothing. His social media presence is virtually nil. I used to blog at DailyKos under my user name and never heard of him. I found his articles at Salon, but there is nothing about him. 21:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
