 * Delete Seems to have published a fair amount, but I can find no awards or special honors that would make him notable under WP:ACADEMIC. He has retired, so I also could not find an informative web site at the University. LaMona (talk) 22:13, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete&mdash;h-index is ~10. Doesn't appear to have been cited enough to make a significant impact in his field.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 23:04, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep the h-index is irrelevant in this case, as books are more important than published papers.PatrickGuinness (talk) 14:16, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The h-index accounts for book citations as well. Coping with IS/IT Risk Management has been cited 7 times and has one review that I've been able to find.  The Pilot Business Development Programme has been cited twice.  I'm not seeing any citations or reviews for the rest.  So far as notability is concerned, I'll agree with you that a book that reviewed ten times is worth far more than a paper that's been cited ten times, but given the absence of reviews and citations I'm not seeing a clear path to notability here.

 * Thanks but happy to disagree on that.PatrickGuinness (talk) 14:43, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - I can't see that there is enough available for the subject to meet the criteria at WP:ACADEMIC and I think there's broad agreement the subject doesn't meet WP:GNG at this stage.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 23:56, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Comment - clearly the problems are that "Beta" the article's creator in 2006, has vanished, and Moynihan's books were published before computers. But that doesn't mean that he isn't notable.PatrickGuinness (talk) 08:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that's worth considering but there's no need to !vote twice.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 12:19, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Unless I am mistaken there are multiple reviews: Computer Bulletin, OUP (another copy) Risk Management, Palgrave Macmillan, Higher Education Academy and the review cited above. Presumably this satisfies AUTHOR and GNG. There are also papers with 140 and 83 cites respectively. James500 (talk) 19:36, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. The reviews listed are all for just one of his books, and it's not clear that one of the reviews (the one linked by Lesser Cartographies) was reliably published. That seems slim for WP:AUTHOR and the evidence for WP:PROF is even weaker. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:40, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
