 * "Of course" – Why?  I've never heard of him (possibly of the Pipedown Club, via something on Radio 4). There is nothing in this article to convey notability. Having written and published a few books doesn't do it, only if critical attention is paid to them. So far this article isn't demonstrating it. So if it's going to stay, some independent comment needs to be found from somewhere, and I can't see it.
 * Maybe Philosophers Behaving Badly is notable, having apparently been reviewed by the Times Ed (but this is unsourced), but that alone wouldn't quite convey author notability.
 * Why does he have an article on the Farsi wikipedia? Is there some connection with Iran worth exploring? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:02, 14 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment His co-authored book Philosophers Behaving Badly seems notable: I added ref to THE, and see Articles for deletion/Philosophers Behaving Badly. In theory that makes Rodgers notable, but I'd still like to see a bit more on him, and the article badly needs tidying up. Colapeninsula (talk) 17:29, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Dear Andy, the reason he has a Farsi entry is that his book Philosophers Behaving Badly has been translated into Farsi. The user who started this discussion is also Iranian. Previously, other Iranian users have did this as well. I don't know why they do not like PBB and entries associated with that! Esmatly (talk) 06:51, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
