I'm not really much familiar with Academics' notability criteria, but upon a cursory look, this person lacks in-depth coverage which are independent of the subject. There's only one source, which is auto-biography. Tame (talk) 08:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * This scholar is obviously reputable, given the publishers they use. I would prefer this discussion were handled by someone familiar with classics. Nonnus49 (talk) 08:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's also not auto-biography, it's an official Oxford profile. Nonnus49 (talk) 08:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:Prof on GS citations in a very low cited area. Did the nominator look at GS? Xxanthippe (talk) 10:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC).
 * Keep, he has a solid record as an author in a subject where frankly it's not easy to sell books. "The Greek Epic Cycle" (Bristol Classics 2001) is still selling, new, in paperback at a reasonable price, which implies lasting impact and interest. Elemimele (talk) 12:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I think we have a pass of WP:AUTHOR, with multiple reviews for multiple books apiece, which is the most reasonable thing to look for in this corner of academia. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:PROF easily met. Atchom (talk) 23:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with other reviewers. Passes WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. Cabrils (talk) 07:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
