Mark Crispin Miller

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails all relevant notability guidelines. No significant coverage in reliable sources per WP:GNG, no indication that his research has had a significant impact in his field. He has not received a highly prestigious academic award or honor nor is he a member of a prestigious scholarly society or association per WP:ACADEMIC.

Sourcing is terrible with the only citations worth anything being a frontline interview and an article in the Observer. This despite having a BLP ref improve template since 2008. Bonewah (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete does not pass the notability guidelines for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I just added ten reviews of three of his books to the article. There are probably more; I didn't search carefully for the other titles. I think that's enough for WP:AUTHOR. He has three publications with over 100 publications each in Google Scholar, a borderline case for WP:PROF. And I think the coverage of him (separately from his books) in Guernica and the Observer (already in the article) and in the Journal of Promotion Management make a strong case for WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per David Eppstein. I added a sentence about the subject's social views from the Frontline interview which was missing from the article. StonyBrook (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I am having trouble viewing this as passing either WP:AUTHOR#4c or WP:PROF. The PBS interview does not get him past WP:GNG in my eyes because the subject of the discussion is today's youth and not Crispin as a youth. We are not given a biographical sketch from this source. Also fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:N.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:39, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Why 4c of AUTHOR? I was thinking of criterion 3: his work is the subject "of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". —David Eppstein (talk) 17:39, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG per sources provided by David Eppstein. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 19:23, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: meets WP:NAUTHOR per sources provided by David Eppstein. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY due to good work by well-known skeptic . Bearian (talk) 17:04, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NAUTHOR C3 seems to be the best case, but the GNG and NPROF aspects help support. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:03, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
