I don't think I should have been harsh and tag it with a CSD or PROD, so I'm going to list it here. This BLP is unsourced, and is it notable? TheMike •Wassup doc? 07:06, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You tell us. You're supposed to have done the research to find out before nominating something for deletion on the grounds of notability. See Project:Guide to deletion#Nomination and Project:Deletion policy. What did you do to determine notability? Where did you look for sources? What did you find?

- It wasn't intended as a question, but rather as more of a statement. I meant to say that this person is Not notable, as far as my google searching skills go. TheMike •Wassup doc? 12:53, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. He appears notable under WP:BK criteria, in that his work is cited and reviewed in other publications, per a Google search. For example, "'Standing Ground' continues Buckley's impressive contributions to the field..." http://jaar.oxfordjournals.org/content/73/1/225.full.pdf; "Thomas Buckley, an accomplished anthropologist who has done excellent work on the Yuroks of northern California..." | Book Review | Oregon Historical Quarterly, 109.2; "Blood Magic offers a lot of Information in a scholarly presentation..." (mixed review), http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/0091-2182/PII009121829090077I.pdf, and so on. Jonathanwallace (talk) 13:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I should have cited WP:AUTHOR, which applies similar criteria to the author of a book which has made a distinct contribution, recognized by reviews. Jonathanwallace (talk) 13:20, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
