Comment: Subject looks potentially notable, but at a minimum the "Current activities" section needs to be removed due to how promotional it is. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Multiple unreferenced content, especially current activities section. Needs rewrite and cleanup. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 07:05, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I would normally reject as overblown puff piece but then there are several books to the subject's credit that may or may not ascertain notability in their field. I leave it to others to decide whether the criteria set forth in WP:ACADEMIC are being met. Superboilles (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
