Non-notable individual lacks GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR.  ttonyb (talk) 18:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 02:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. GS h index around 15. Probably meets WP:Prof #1. Does not seem to meet other categories. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Author of half a dozen books, now emeritus faculty at UBC; evidence that he has been influential over some extended period of time in a particular area.  The article needs help in copy editing it to wiki standards, but I'd prefer to see it WP:BETTER than deleted.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 05:11, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. PsycINFO finds 36 publications by this author and 7 reviews of his books (representing a wide range of attitudes). His book The Sense of Vocation is cited 19 times in Web of Science and 46 times in Google Scholar. Library holdings of his books are respectable given their relatively specialised topics. All this probably qualifies as "significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed" (Notability (academics)). EALacey (talk) 08:22, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
