Long-unimproved stub with no usable sources, and scant returns on Google. He has a reasonable number of publications, but I am not seeing an encyclopedic level of impact. BD2412 T 06:09, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. Not one, but two named professorships, is a clear double pass of WP:PROF#C5, not even discussed in the nomination. And it's not number of publications you should be looking at, nor (for this area) citation counts, but rather book reviews, and he has enough of those for his three monographs Judicial Deliberations, Judicial Transformations, and Judicial Dis-Appointments (plus an entire book by others devoted to the first of them) to pass WP:AUTHOR. Speedy because of the completely inadequate evaluation evident in the nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - named professorships at Ivy League schools are clearly sufficient under WP:PROF#C5. In addition, I'm also seeing coverage in independent scholarly books: see [1] and [2]. This would suggest that he passes the GNG as well. I'm not sure this nomination meets the speedy-keep criteria, but it's pretty clear to me that this article should not be deleted.

  • Keep per above comments. --Gazal world (talk) 19:41, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
