This article seems to be sourced entirely form the subject's own website. I did not see any obvious better sources in the 200-odd unique Googles either. Guy (Help!) 18:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete then unless other sources can be found. Northwestgnome (talk) 18:10, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I agree that there could be more independent refs here, but the subject meets notability criteria: "had works in many significant libraries", "An academic who has published a book or books of general interest", "The person is known for originating an important new concept". I got 2,720 hits on Google and there are more refs on the French page for this. If I get the time I can see about adding more sources. Formicarius (talk) 17:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
