 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just being a historian who has written multiple books does not make someone pass notability guidelines. The sources seem to be either passing mentions, one review of a book by him, and either his own websites or bios from organizations he is very closely connected with. No indication he passes GNG or notability guidelines for academicsJohn Pack Lambert (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. GS h-index of 6 for history books with high cites, just pips WP:TOOEARLY. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:29, 12 July 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete Fails WP:PROF and WP:GNG. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 00:41, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Xxanthippe (PROF 1), also meets GNG I think with coverage like, , ... in Polish, for example interview in (pl:Kultura Liberalna). Not sure if membership in AHA  meets PROF 3. For PROF 2, : one of his books "received the 1998 AAASS/Orbis Prize for best book in Polish Studies;" and it may help him pass WP:AUTHOR, along with the fact that he got some high profile reviews like  (in Foreign Affairs).

 * Keep Meets both WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR, as Piotrus says. . Full professors at Indiana (which is one of the half-dozen best of the state flagship universities) generally will. Perhaps I should say always, but we've so far covered only a very small percentage of them.  DGG ( talk ) 23:56, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Per the sources provided by User:Piotrus, and per the usual assumption that full professors at major universities are notable. It occurs to me that Padraic Kenney should be included in, a group that so far includes few people at universities in western countries, of whom Kenney would be one.
