 * Delete. SPA-created article on an asst professor having 1 book with intermediate holdings, a handful of GS cites, and no WoS cites. Classic WP:TOOSOON. Agricola44 (talk) 18:22, 23 March 2015 (UTC).
 * Weak keep – Although I don't particularly care who created the article, normally I would agree that the number of GS cites is not enough to indicate that Malleson has been influential in his field. Too soon. But there were two cites to the book: (this) in Business Ethics Quarterly, which was a brief mention ("Should the state do more to facilitate or subsidize the ownership of firms by groups other than investors (Gould 2004; Malleson 2014)...") and (Ethical Perspectives), which was an in-depth review. Weak keep mainly because the Oxford University Press is a very selective publisher and because the Ethical Perspectives review makes it possible to write a detailed description of the book. Question for : It seems that both of these journals are indexed in the social sciences edition of the Journal Citation Reports. Is that the same as Web of Science? I am wondering why they don't show up as cites. Is there an URL I can enter to check WoS cites? What buttons do I need to click? – Margin1522 (talk) 21:23, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too soon to have accumulated the academic impact to pass WP:PROF (only single-digit citation counts in Google scholar, not enough to show notability that way) and what else is there? —David Eppstein (talk) 19:13, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
