 * keep added reviews of a couple of his books and some essays that discuss his work and that of 3 or 4 other authors of seafaring historicals. I think there's enough here to pass, in additions ot the fact that WP:PRESERVE lists of popular series are useful - as evidenced that his page has been getting 25-30 hits a day since 15 August 1781 (that's the day Admiral Nelson took command of HMS Albemarle - adding link the landlubbers among us.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:15, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - There has been some work on this article since the nomination for deletion. I think there is now a sufficiently diverse array of coverage in reliable sources to say that this individual passes WP:GNG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 19:44, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
