Erik Hage

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:AUTHOR. His full bio is available at his place of work:. Essentially he has written a few books, was a journalist, been given a minor award, and is an associate professor. His main claim to notability is that one of his books was on Van Morrison, so Google searches will bring that up. But I cannot find a reliable source which talks about him in depth - essentially, he is known via the notability of the topic of that book (Van Morrison), rather than by his own notability. But notability is not inherited - importantly he appears to have not received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources".  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  12:36, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete All the listed "External links and sources" are links to writing by Hage, not about him. I have been unable to find any sources that discuss the subject of the article at all. There are other people of the same name, but this author and his work have not received significant critical attention. Mduvekot (talk) 12:51, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
