Unsure if he passes WP:PROF. Article looks like a resume. LibStar (talk) 02:49, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Author and Editor of multiple books published by renowned publishing companies 1, 2, 3 Meets [WP:GNG]. Fifthapril (talk) 04:21, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * if he meets WP:GNG, he needs significant coverage of him as the subject, where is that coverage? I don't think he meets WP:AUTHOR. 2 of the books you mention, he is an editor not an author. LibStar (talk) 04:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. Here is some coverage 1, 2.
 * Journal articles 1, 2.
 * Books 1, 2. Even the books 1, where you mentioned that he is just an editor shows his significant contribution because he got the prominent credits in the title and on front page/book cover because chapters in those books are written by different authors. He maybe weak in the GNG criteria but he is still notable enough to have a Wikipedia page due to his academic contribution. Yes I agree that the article looks like a resume and needs editing.

 * Delete . While I see lots of books, I don't see much evidence of impact via citations or reviews.  The route through reviews looks more likely, but I find only two reviews, both of edited volumes.  This looks well short of WP:NAUTHOR.  It is possible that I am missing reviews, and I'm watching this discussion in case better sourcing is uncovered. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Slightly weak Keep. I'm convinced by the WP:NPROF C5 case noted by, and which I should have noticed myself.  I'd normally expect to see a bit more other evidence of NPROF or NAUTHOR notability in an NPROF C5 case, but I think this is an effect of the field, and I think that the chair is the kind of position described by the C5 subcriterion.

 * Keep. On a quick glance, holding a named chair (Sir James Stirling Chair in Architecture) at a reputable university, University of Liverpool, is a WP:PROF pass under #5; verified: . Agree article needs work. Is there something I'm missing? Espresso Addict (talk) 02:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Named chair at a decent university meets WP:PROF #5. Have done a bit of work on the article, but more is needed. Edwardx (talk) 00:07, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
