Delete. According to worldcat, his book on Joyce is in a couple hundred libraries, but Google scholar turned up only three citations to it and I failed to find published reviews either in academic journals or in the mainstream press. His other two books are held only by a number of libraries in the low twenties. And, as far as claims of notability go, that appears to be all. It's not enough, either for WP:PROF or WP:CREATIVE. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Described in article as a local historian which can often be slightly above a hobby; also his works are with very small publishers. Seems non-notable as argued above. Medhbh (talk) 03:57, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete though not totally un-notable. His book on Joyce is in 275 WorldCat libraries. But that's not enough, and his poetry seems to be unknown. DGG ( talk ) 04:52, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
