I have carried out WP:BEFORE and have not been able to find reliable secondary coverage of this writer, academic and consultant, so I don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. I also don't think he qualifies under WP:ACADEMIC. I considered whether he is notable as the former director of the Centre for Innovative Management, but that is a redirect. I also considered whether he is notable as an elected Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, but that was rejected as an argument in a couple of other deletion discussions (here and here). No obvious merge target. Tacyarg (talk) 14:25, 18 October 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  14:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Tentative Keep. Not my area, but citations in GS look healthy: top 728,652,617,305,259, and a further three >100, mostly with only a single co-author, enough to meet my understanding of WP:PROF. Some of these appear to be books, so will probably be reviewed, suggesting notability is likely under WP:AUTHOR too. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:30, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - agree that being a fellow of the RSA counts for very little (I was one until I stopped paying the subscription!). In terms of NPROF, I guess for me the question is whether he meets criteria 1, 4 or 6. I don't know where Dean ranks at the university in question. So for me the question is the extent to which he has "made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions."
 * My suspicion is that he hasn't and that this is a bit of a WP:PROMO for his post academic career. JMWt (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. The administrative positions are not enough, and the unsourced material needs heavy trimming. But he has a healthy citation record (WP:PROF; ) and I think enough reviews of books (albeit coauthored or edited) for WP:AUTHOR: Total Quality Management in the Public Sector:, , , ; Helping Families in Distress: ; The Comprehensive Experiment: , , ; Helping the Troubled Child: . —David Eppstein (talk) 07:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPROF#1, having 8 articles with 100+ citations each in a presumably low citation field is sufficient for NPROF. Probably also passes NAUTHOR with      multiple reviews of multiple books, see David Eppstein above as well. --hroest 21:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
