Does not meet WP:NACADEMIC notability guidelines. I have been unable to find any significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Rusf10 (talk) 23:21, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I just added eight reviews of four of his books to the article. That would normally be enough for a clear keep per WP:AUTHOR, but I'm putting it down as a weak keep because three of the reviews and two of the books were edited rather than authored, and two more of the reviews are in the journal he founded. On the other hand, the journal also gives him a plausible case for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:57, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I believe the weak WP:NAUTHOR case put forth by David Eppstein.  In my opinion he does not meet WP:PROF, as the journal does not appear to be major, nor well-established (founded less than 10 years ago).  The page was overly promotional, and I did a fair bit of trimming:  I invite other editors to oversee what I trimmed and discuss if I have been too aggressive.

 * Keep. Epstein has added reviews of four of his books to the article. The subject passes WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF Wm335td (talk) 20:29, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NAUTHOR and WP:HEY. For the record, I disagree that he passes the Prof test. Bearian (talk)
 * Keep agree with Bearian that Asimakopoulos qualifies for notability as an activist, a radical theorist, a shouter, not a scholar.NotButtigieg (talk) 11:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * P.S. FWIW, I am fine with a merger. Bearian (talk) 21:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment As Bearian alludes to, see the talk page of the article under discussion for a proposal related to this article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep – Per above, it can stay now after the added reviews. Meets WP:HEY - MA Javadi (talk) 23:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
