There is no assertion of notability. Sources must be about the subject, not written by him. The two sources on the article are unacceptable, being blogspot and twitter. Tagged for notability since 2017. Kbabej (talk) 18:48, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per WP:BLP; not notable. Meh, even at twitter:  Siddiqsazzad001   '''  16:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep (but revdel copyvio). At minimum, Conspicuous Compassion appears to meet WP:GNG (and possibly WP:NBOOK) with sigcov, being used in at least one university course and having a bunch of cites. That means that at least one article and a redirect would reasonable. Prefer redirection from book to author over the converse. The Poverty of Multiculturalism has also been cited a number of times, and there's also at least one small review of Beating them at their own game). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 22:10, 19 January 2019‎ (UTC)

 * Keep Aside from those found by Hydronium Hydroxide, I see a few more, suggesting that his work has received the attention of the mainstream media, therefore may qualify under WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Hzh (talk) 14:54, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Patently notable writer in dire need of willing and capable editor to create decently written and sourced Wikipedia page. BBC: In his report, Conspicuous Compassion, author Patrick West said people were trying to feel better about themselves by taking part in ... and in this gNews search ], for starters.

 * Take a look at the responses to ''Conspicuous Compassion" in The Guardian alone (hits #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7.).E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - Meets WP:GNG per the sources identified by Hydronium~Hydroxide. Recommend the sources be copy-pasted the article's TP.  I'd add them to the article but am  currently in the middle of the creation of a large one on a diff subject. XavierItzm (talk) 12:51, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
