Appears to fail WP:AUTHOR. While he has published several volumes, and some of them are cited in a number of places I'm not clear that's enough to establish notability. Unable to find in-depth sources about him since 2009 (quite a few passing mentions). Toddst1 (talk) 22:31, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * delete even what the article claims is his best known work gets only 5 citation hits on google scholar. there are a few more citations to this book on google books, but they're only citations, not discussions of the man nor his work, and no other mention as far as I can see.  therefore fails WP:AUTHOR. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Careful with how you use Google. There are 38 citations for the short title Michigan place names. older ≠ wiser 23:52, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * comment oh my, right you are. sorry about that.  nevertheless, my opinion is unchanged. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Hard to find any notability for him. Google News Archive finds nothing. Google Scholar finds the one book, Michigan Place Names, self published, cited 38 times. Not enough to add up to notability. --MelanieN (talk) 15:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
