 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep Mungello is a full professor at Baylor. He has published a long list of book with university presses, several of which have been translated into other languages.  The books have been respectfully reviewed in major journals.  both his books and his scholarly articles get cited.  Even on wikipedia itself, multiple pages on China-related topics link to his page.  A full professorship at a major university, along with a string of well-received books that, along with your articles, are cited by scholars who follow you is what notability consists of for history professors.  More can quite easily be written about how his work has influenced the field by anyone with the inclination to do so who can access JSTOR and other caches of scholarly book reviews.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Inadequate article for highly notable academic author. According to WorldCat, his principal book, The forgotten Christians of Hangzhou   is held in 1700 libraries; The great encounter of China and the West, 1500-1800 is held in 1491 (and translated into Chinese and into Korean) ; Drowning girls in China : female infanticide since 1650  in 663; Leibniz and Confucianism, the search for accord in 608 (and translated into Chinese) ; Curious land : Jesuit accommodation and the origins of Sinology in 546 (and translated into Chinese); The spirit and the flesh in Shandong, 1650-1785  in 266 (and translated into Chinese) ; Western queers in China : flight to the land of Oz   in 223; The Chinese rites controversy : its history and meaning in 149  . I've copied this sentence into the article. There aren multiple reviews for most of these listed in Worldcat .  Meets WP author because of the reviews; meets WP:PROF because clearly an authority in his field. h value is almost meaninglessmeaningless in the humanities ,as our article on it explains. it only works in those fields of science that depend upon journal articles and in which many people are publishing.  Nonetheless, 812 citations to his works overall is quite high for this subject. . DGG ( talk ) 03:49, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
