 * Keep. I don't think he passes WP:PROF and I'm not sure about WP:AUTHOR but he passes WP:GNG (with an obituary published in the Chicago Tribune and an entry in the Science Fiction Encyclopedia among other sources) and that's good enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:56, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * PS I just added six reviews for four of his nonfiction books to the article. So WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF are also back in play (well-received books and book reviews being more the currency of academic notability than high citation counts and h-indexes for this kind of subject). —David Eppstein (talk) 06:03, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 *  Keep clearly notable author, and apparent would meet WP PROF as an expert in his field.  DGG ( talk ) 05:41, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. Other encyclopedias include him.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:05, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
