Nominate for deletion Tagged for notability concerns for over 5 years. Seems to have written a number of books within a very narrow field, but can't find that he meets notability guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 15:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak delete His books (particularly the Encyclopedia of Medieval Literature) do seem to be very widely held according to Worldcat, but if it was very influential, one would expect a citation rate that does not appear in Google Scholar. Ray  Talk 17:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see anything here that would pass WP:PROF, and I don't think a small number of academic reviews of what are mostly edited volumes (as found by Colapeninsula — thanks!) is adequate either for WP:PROF#C1 or for WP:AUTHOR. Especially since the one that wasn't paywalled for me (the review of Arthurian Writers) paints him as the opposite of an established expert in the field. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
