The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. I checked WP:NPROF but didn't think to check WP:NAUTHOR (seriously, just writing a book makes you notable?) (non-admin closure)‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 21:51, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

:This two-volume encyclopedia provides accessibly written coverage on a wide range of topics, covering substances ranging from whiskey to peyote as well as related topics such as Mexican drug trafficking and societal effects caused by specific drugs. The entries also supply an excellent overview of the history of temperance movements in Canada and the United States; trends in alcohol consumption, its production, and its role in the economy; as well as alcohol's and drugs' roles in shaping national discourse, the creation of organizations for treatment and study, and legal responses.This two-volume encyclopedia provides accessibly written coverage on a wide range of topics, covering substances ranging from whiskey to peyote as well as related topics such as Mexican drug trafficking and societal effects caused by specific drugs.

::Did you really just copy and paste a subject's LinkedIn page as a justification for keeping? That's...not how this works. nf utvol (talk) 19:11, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep. Doesn't seem to have the citation count or other criteria needed to pass WP:PROF, however he was a primary editor of "Alcohol and Temperance in Modern History: An International Encyclopedia" which was reviewed in the journals "Social History of Alcohol and Drugs" ([https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/SHAD21010098 here]) and the "Canadian Bulletin of Medical History" which appears to give him the bare minimum for passing WP:NAUTHOR. nf utvol (talk) 19:20, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep in addition to the reviews identified by Nfutvol, I found and added to the article three reviews of his 1998 book Temperance Societies in Late Victorian and Edwardian England and two reviews of his 2020 book Temperance Societies in Late Victorian and Edwardian England. There's a pass of WP:AUTHOR here. Jahaza (talk) 21:09, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
  • :And two reviews for his 2022 book The Politics of Drink in England, from Gladstone to Lloyd George. Jahaza (talk) 21:30, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. passes WP:NAUTHOR with multiple reviews of multiple books. --hroest 21:39, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
