 * Keep - chair of a department, three textbooks, sounds like he passes. Bearian 20:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. He is more precisely from his web page,  " Chair of the Graduate Diploma in Education programme" at the School of Education Studies in Dublin City University. that is, chair of a program within a school, and not a department. A person who is only a lecturer (=US assistant professor) would not ordinarily be chair of a full department at an important university--this is just an administrative position running their postgraduate program.   The books do not seem to be all significant--one is published by his own university, and the other two by relatively minor academic publishers. It would be necessary to demonstrate that they were widely used to show that he is important. DGG (talk) 00:48, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
