Lacks notability. Probably written by his wife. username 1 (talk) 18:51, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Only marginal WP:Prof #1 as GS cites give h index around 10. Others may care to argue WP:Politician. Who wrote this recent article is irrelevant. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:34, 26 December 2009 (UTC).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep – I’m showing that his article in the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy is cited 73 times. Likewise “Promoting Academic” in the English Journal is cited 53 times and they are just two of numerous references in Google Scholar, as provided here . Wouldn’t this qualify the Doctor under Creative Professional?  Happy New Year.

 * Not by the standards that prevail on these pages. Many hundreds of cites are usually required to show notability above that of the average professor. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC).
 * I’m showing his works cited in excess of 400 times, with the link I provided above. In adition, he is credited as part of “.. An incredible team of IDEA scholars—including Susan Auer- bach, Tony Collat0s, Makeba Jones, Martin Lipton, Ernest Morrell, Irene Serna, Marisa Saunders, and Susan Yonezawa—invested both their minds and hearts in this work”  which is cited 2,220 times as shown here .  Does this help?  Thanks for help. JAAG  Talk 02:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. 400 cites makes him marginal by the usual standards of WP:Prof #1. The 2,220 cites refer to somebody else's book. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:13, 3 January 2010 (UTC).


 * Keep. I added some references and reviews of his books. His work has also been mentioned in fairly large daily newspapers. I think he passes WP:GNG - Eastmain (talk) 02:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep as it's well referenced, which usually means it meets the notability standards. The personal section in the article needs to be merged elsewhere. PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 03:13, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
