Grant Parker

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NACADEMIC and appears to fail the general notability guidelines as well. While he is the chair of the Department of Classics at Stanford, that doesn't appear to qualify him under criteria 6 of the academic notability guidelines and he's an associate professor regardless. All of the current citations in the article are affiliated with Parker himself as well. Chess (talk) (please use&#32; on reply) 03:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. The nominator's second AfD nomination of classics academics. What does the nominator think of the subject's citation record, which is not negligible for a classicist? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:35, 8 June 2020 (UTC).
 * I'm mainly looking at the sources and what I personally can see. I nominated it for deletion because I didn't see any sources not affiliated with the author and looking about on many websites doesn't provide me with much information on this person being well-known in their field. I'm not particularly certain what you mean. Do you have any sources? Chess (talk) (please use&#32; on reply) 04:49, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Click on the scholar link, which you should have done under WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:57, 8 June 2020 (UTC).


 * Keep. I added nine reviews of his two authored books and one each of three edited volumes to the article. I think that's enough for WP:AUTHOR. (FYI, since there's discussion above about how to find such sources: Many of these can be found by going to jstor.org's "advanced search" page, searching for Parker's name, and clicking the checkbox that limits the search to reviews only.) —David Eppstein (talk) 06:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Black Issues Emerging Scholar recognition tips over the line for me. --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep under WP:Author and WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 07:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC).
 * Keep. Enough reviews for WP:NAUTHOR, strong citation record for a low-citation field gives possible pass of WP:NPROF C1. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:Author.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
