Little evidence of notability. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:N Jsharpminor (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The article just now is pretty much just a CV, but the main ground for notability is that he meets WP:AUTHOR for Pursuit of Justices per reviews NBC News calls it "the definitive book on post-World War II Supreme Court nominees".
 * As far as other sources:
 * Prosecution among Friends has 1 academic review
 * He's also appeared as an expert on NPR more than once and in other media
 * He doesn't definitely meet WP:ACADEMIC but being regarded as an expert by the media might meet #7. He's co-written 2 textbooks (American Government: Historical, Popular and Global Perspectives and Constitutional Law: Civil Liberty and Individual Rights) so if they're popular enough he might meet WP:ACADEMIC #4. He's a Department Head though not a named/distinguished professor --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. A GS h-index of 8 is barely marginal for WP:Prof, although he does have one book with over 100 cites. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep per AUTHOR #3 multiple book reviews. -- Green  C  04:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Book holdings >1000. The article should be culled of WP:PUFF, like "notable articles", and WP:OR. Agricola44 (talk) 16:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC).
