PROD reverted. Sources and good faith search only produce works he's created, not third party independent sources that establish notability. Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 18:42, 21 October 2012 (UTC) withdrawn Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 17:18, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There is one review of his book Grateful Prey: Rock Cree Human-Animal Relationships at "History of Religions, Vol. 37, No. 2 (Nov., 1997), pp. 182-184 http://www.jstor.org/stable/3176349." I am hosting a copy here. There is another review in the "Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute; Dec97, Vol. 3 Issue 4, p808, 2p" and I have hosted it here. There is a third review at "American Indian Culture and Research Journal, Volume 20, Number 4 / 1996, p. 224" which I am hosting here. The book is published by the University of California, Berkeley, Press, which is as solid a publisher as one could get. Authors do inherit notability from their creations, that is books (see WP:AUTHOR); so these multiple reviews in reliable, third-party, secondary sources alone make him notable. Beyond that, he is a "named chair" professor at Reed College. That is not a major research institution (largely undergrad), still a notable one, and coupled with his notable book, gets him through WP:GNG. Churn and change (talk) 20:54, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've replaced the notability tag with refimprove tag and added a stub tag. Thank you. Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 21:52, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
