• Weak keep. Both the published reviews (I added four, on two of his books, to the article) and the citation record (three pubs with over 100 cites each on Google scholar) make a plausible but weak case for notability, through WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
