This subject fails WP:GNG for lack of coverage by unrelated third parties on which to base content of an encyclopedic biography. He also fails to meet the more stringent thresholds of WP:ANYBIO and WP:PROFESSOR. No particularly notable achievements or awards jump out at me. And scholarly citations of this person's work do exist, but do not approach numbers that would support notability all on their own. JFHJr (㊟) 17:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep notable author. For example, a google scholar search shows his Cambridge University Press published book, The United States and the rule of law in international affairs, has been cited 124 times and reviewed in journals like this. SalHamton (talk) 18:27, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I am a bit puzzled by this nomination, as I think the existing references already established notability. Nevertheless, I have added some additional material.  Murphy is widely published, and I suggested he would not have held the positions listed if he was not at the top of his profession.  Geo Swan (talk) 00:50, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
