 * I'm amused that the deletion sorting says United States and the article says American. That led me completely astray, until I turned up the potted author autobiographies in several of this person's books.  This person is a professor emeritus at Acadia University, in Canada.  But there's nothing other than author autobiographies, and that university's staff listing WWW page, that I can find.  Uncle G (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found 12 published reviews of 5 of his books, only looking at the academic literature (I suspect there may be more in the SF-fanzine world; searching was made a little more difficult by a different Raymond H. Thompson, an archaelogist of the US Southwest). That's enough for WP:AUTHOR. I also fixed his nationality and listed his academic affiliation, sourced to a faculty directory at Acadia U. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:15, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. David Eppstein has clearly demonstrated a WP:NAUTHOR pass here. -- asilvering (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
