 * Keep. GNews searches confirm that Crosby is a recognized expert in several areas, and that his work and books have received substantial coverage.  His work on the cave paintings of Baja California has been covered by sources such as National Geographic, Archeology, Modesto Bee, and Chicago Daily News (reprinted in Miami News), etc.  His work on old California has received substantial coverage in sources such as the Los Angeles Times, and The Catholic Historical Review.  GBooks shows that his books are cited by many others and the GNews searches show a number of additional (but currently paywalled or inaccessible) articles in the San Diego Union-Tribune.   --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:19, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

 * What Arxiloxos says. Additionally, his books seem to have lasting interest. Among them, The Cave Paintings of Baja California (1975) was republished in 1997 (Worldcat) (or 1994, archaeology.org); Tijuana 1964 (2000) has just been reprinted. Keep. -- Hoary (talk) 00:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
