 * Delete per lack of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. This individual's deceased father may be notable. Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:16, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per reasons above for lack of substantial coverage establishing notability per WP:PROF's criteria. If subject's standing and applicability changes at a later date to meet these criteria, re-create via Articles for Creation to take advantage of the peer review process. be siege d talk 17:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I searched for book reviews to see if it would pass WP:AUTHOR #3. Found some citations in course syllabus and teaching bibliographies. This might pass WP:PROF #4, but it stipulates for higher education and this book is for middle and high school levels. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand -- The article is at present a poor stub, but a google scholar search produces a lot of results, including nearly 40 books and articles that appear to be by the subject. Furthermore, I would have thought that the award of the title "professor emeritus" indicated that his university considered him notable.  It looks as if his field of work was educating history teachers and his works are on that field of education, rahter than on history itself, but that does not alter my view.
