 * Comment re WP:PROF? I have posted a question in the talk page here - information found on DGG's talk page. I understand that it is not a formal rule although commonly accepted.Ananke83 (talk) 08:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Ananke83 — Ananke83 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

With a quick search, I have found at least ten books published by major academic publishers that engage with and quote Chiesa's work (see a sample on the talk page). This does not include journal articles and independent reviews of his work. According to WorldCat Identities, Chiesa has 28 works in 60 publications in 5 languages and 3,613 library holdings. . He is currently a visiting Professor at the European University at Saint Petersburg and was previously Full Professor of Modern European Thought at the University of Kent.

 * Keep as WP:AUTHOR. As an example of in-depth coverage of Chiesa's work, see Slavoj Zizek's "Disparities" (Bloomsbury, 2016), pp. 348-362. Chiesa is also mentioned on the back cover of the book along with Brandom, Pippin, Zupancic, Johnston, Malabou, Kristeva, Shakespeare, Schiller, and Beckett.

 * Comment- just to let you know I have now amended this entry to take into consideration initial comments by Kudpung and all comments on this page. Ananke83 (talk) 13:30, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Ananke83
 * Keep - I am not sure I see enough reviews to meet WP:AUTH but he meets WP:PROF based on current position, publications and his impact in this field.  Gtstricky Talk or C 19:20, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
