He appears to only be discussed in passing in the reliable references included, additionally, those mentions typically are followed by a quote of his. Doesn't seem to meet BLP notability requirements. Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  22:38, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep as both WorldCat (currently linked) and GoogleScholar both give high number of collections and citations enough to satisfy both WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF. Also, current list of published books is significant enough to show notability in his field. SwisterTwister   talk  05:49, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - His citation count alone qualifies him, what is even more impressive is that his top two cited works are over a decade apart, showing his staying power in his field.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - Read past edit history of the Patrick Carnes article for more notable information about Patrick Carnes. The article has been modified many times because of editors who are opposed to the concept of sex addiction and try to minimize his work in the field. Patrick Carnes is more responsible than anyone for the conceptualization of sex addiction and the entire field of sex addiction treatment, and that's notable.
