Article originally created to promote this person; it has been toned down a little since then but it remains obvious that it is paraphrased from what was originally a self-authored bio. No evidence of notability. I'm tempted to tag A7/G11. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 20:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Not sure if it was self-authored or a fan who originally created the article back in 2011 but he is a professor which is usually the test when it comes to academics. The Vintage Feminist (talk) 01:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Merely being a professor is not enough for notability. But a search of JSTOR found many reviews of his books [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], enough for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sources presented by David Eppstein. Passes WP:NAUTHOR. Sal2100 (talk) 22:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per David Eppstein. Subject has some well-cited works and has received media attention for his work on democracy. Jaireeodell (talk) 01:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:NAUTHOR. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:14, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets the criteria as a scholar and author per WP:NAUTHOR. The promotional tone of the article doesn’t impact the notability of the topic itself. If the subject is notable, the page can always be improved, and this argument cannot be used as a basis for nomination. It also seems like his publication in News Observer gained attention:
