• Weak keep. Maan's theory may not have had wide takeup in the academic literature, but there's still a published book from Routledge, which was reviewed in The Personalist Forum (see JSTOR). And there are a few other citations on Google Scholar. —Tom Morris (talk) 11:41, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. What is missing here is an article on the theory of Narrative identity, to which Maan's theory seems like little more than an interesting footnote. Given such an article, the article under discussion here might well be merged into it. As a standalone article and in the absence of a Narrative identity article, it seems to have undue weight.  --Lambiam 12:28, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I think that Maan's book on the subject is notable, or at least just passes the letter of Wikipedia:Notability (books) based on reviews here and here. So I'd suggest we refocus this article to focus on the book itself. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:44, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep this topic is notable.read the review Review by Joe Barnhart , University of north texas.--Brat tariq (talk) 09:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is the same review as referenced above by Tom Morris and also by Mark Arsten. But did you actually read it? It is not by Barnhart, but by Seth Vannatta, Casady School (now at Morgan State University).  --Lambiam 17:10, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
