Sounds like it was copy and pasted, and could be an essay. No sources on the article either. The article was also speed deleted 13 years ago, but was kept for a unknown reason. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 05:32, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: Yes it desperately needs cleanup, but he passes WP:NPROF on a few counts. He held a named professorship (William Lighty Professor of Education at the University of Wisconsin Madison), and these three papers, which were found after only a cursory look, show that he had a significant impact on his field.

 * Keep for the reasons cited by Curbon7. A named professorship at a major university and a long time ago, when they were less common. Jahaza (talk) 23:32, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. There exist entire academic publications about him and his work . Additionally his book Learning at the Back Door has big citation numbers and multiple reviews . Passes WP:PROF (per the named chair above) and likely WP:GNG. WP:AUTHOR is more of a stretch because only one book but still contributes something towards notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
