:({{Find sources|Jack Santino}})

Orphaned article with only citations to primary sources. Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Not clear how this person is notable. Only claim to notability is authoring several books and a position which is of unclear notability. Not seeing how this might meet WP:BIO or WP:PROF. RadioFan (talk) 22:37, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:: Comment The proposer of the deletion now agrees "that the article has been significantly improved to the point where it can meet at least WP:BIO and perhaps WP:PROF-" See here:

• Comment Keep. Folklorist with substantial coverage on GS with h index = 11. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:21, 17 July 2010 (UTC).

• Keep - Books subject to review in academic journals. Production of regional Emmy awards winning film Miles of Smiles, Years of Struggle. From 1996 to 2000 Santino was the editor of the Journal of American Folklore and was the President of the American Folklore Society so seams to me a clear pass of WP:Prof (Msrasnw (talk) 10:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC))

• Withdrawn the article has been significantly improved to the point where it can meet at least WP:BIO and perhaps WP:PROF --RadioFan (talk) 15:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
