Peter Neville

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

British sociologist without significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent (third-party) sources. (?) No searchable third-party coverage, and of his two obituaries, Freedom (newspaper) is only in archives and Total Liberty is not a reliable source. He isn't listed in WorldCat Identities and appears to have no notable/major publications for scholar notability guideline consideration. No other potential redirect targets. czar 16:15, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:RS, WP:GNG, and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. I don't know how anyone could argue that obits in two news journals with close connections to the subject could be significant coverage. If he had a London Times obit, that would be a different issue. Bearian (talk) 02:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I found a slew of books published by a Peter Neville: WorldCat identities. Is this the same Peter Neville? The article does not say anything on book authorship, so I'm not sure. If this is the same Neville, then there'd be a clear pass of WP:AUTHOR, with multiple published, widely held books which have non trivial reviews, for example:
 * Peter Neville, Hitler and Appeasement: The British Attempt to Prevent the
 * Second World War (London and New York: Hambledon Continuum, 2006),
 * ISBN 1 85285 369 7; ISBN 978 1 85285 527 7, pp. xiii + 240, £19.99.
