Gregory Mahler
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

American political scientist. This WP:BLP is essentially unsourced, the only external link is dead. The article was created by a single-purpose account and may be an autobiography ("His favorite colors are maroon and off white"). A Google search provides no indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:PROF.  Sandstein  15:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I now notice that we had a precious AfD in 2008, where the person was considered notable. But after 10 years of no improvement I think it's WP:TNT time; we can't allow unsourced BLP content to hang around forever.  Sandstein   15:55, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Google search does not bring up substantive third-party sources. Reywas92Talk 21:16, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep several source and textbooks in 2nd, 3rd, and 5th print editions. His books show up as widely cited in gScholar and in book searches.  I used various keywords: Israel, names of co-authors, Palestine, Canada.  He does use both Greg and Gregory. Sources exist to support notability, yet another page in need of an editor.

 * Keep. With (now in the article) at least 14 published reviews of 8 books, he easily passes WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR as demonstrated by Gregory and Eppstein above. Portions that are unsourced can be tagged or removed. Thsmi002 (talk) 05:33, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per keepers. Johnbod (talk) 20:21, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
