Unfortunately, the subject of this article does not appear to meet WP:NPROF, WP:GNG, or any other notability criterion. I did searches on Google Scholar, Google books etc. and did not find any substantial independent sources covering him. (t · c) buidhe 05:04, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. That a university (in this case, Cornell University) holds his collected papers is generally a sign of notability, although I don't think it is a pass of any of our criteria on its own. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:49, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete per nom. The most applicable SNG is WP:NAUTHOR, which he doesn’t meet, not on evidence I can find. Undelete readily if someone can identify a merge target, but I couldn’t find one. It may be a missing article, something like History of Bear (gay culture). —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
