Jack Hodgson (historian)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Failure to meet 'sources' and 'independent of the subject' criteria in the general notability guideline. Previous nomination was removed by an editor (User:Historygeek2207), who might potentially be the subject, in bad faith. An overwhelming majority of the references are indeed primary (18/24 if I'm counting correctly), while most of the others (like the Orcid or the newsletter) do not really attest to the notability of the subject. In addition, as I pointed out in the article's talk page, I think the editor's work on this article might go against the WP:NOTYOU policy, given that a majority of their contributions consist of working on this article specifically, and most of their other contributions involve the insertion of references to the subject's work on other entries.

 * DeleteNo articles about him, only things he's written. This in WaPo is typical of what I find. Oaktree b (talk) 01:57, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Still a young academic who may be notable one day. He has completed a PhD and written four articles based on it and a few book reviews.  In my view that is not enough for notability.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PROF and WP:TOOSOON, subject to re-creation with further academic work. We almost never keep associate professors. Bearian (talk) 13:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I thought perhaps his works were highly cited per WP:PROF, but it appears not. ResonantDistortion 07:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
