Was nominated previously, due to vandalous edits that weren't detected. As for now, the subject hardly meets WP:PROF, and the main contributor, User:FSUlawalumni is a likely COI. C(u)w(t)C(c) 12:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep He's a named professor (Gary & Sallyn Pajcic Professor), which seems to meet WP:ACADEMIC. His book Knowledge as Power has reviews in academic journal Punishment & Society and lawyers magazine Champion, and from various academics websites, indicating his ideas have some influence and imprtance.  USLaw.com says he "has authored many of the most important articles about sex offender laws". --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:29, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Colapeninsula; in addition to the academic references xe cites, Logan and his work have also received coverage from nonacademic news sites as well such as . --Arxiloxos (talk)
 * Keep: Significant coverage and significant recognition in reliable sources. SL93 (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. No valid reason advanced for deletion. If the subject barely meets the SNG, it meets the SNG; some other substantive grounds would be required to delete (eg, lack of reliable sourcing, which clearly isn't a problem here.) Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 14:52, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Colapeninsula. -- Lord Roem (talk) 19:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. per Colapeninsula -- named chair profs w/ reviewed books in substantial journals and citations outside are usually not even borderline by WP:PROF. The COI seems weak -- it's an alum of the same school, beyond that there's no evidence of a conflict. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:33, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
