Does not pass WP:ACADEMIC; the only possible criteria is his distinguished professorship, although Hangzhou Normal University is not a major institution of research even in China. There is only one source in the entire article, and it is rife with WP:NOR. There have been a large amount of additions by WP:SPAs and possible WP:COI IPs/editors.

• Keep - Distinguished professorship; Lifetime achievement award from John Dewey Society; H-index of 28; reviews of his books [https://www.philosophy-of-education.org/blog/book-reviews-archived/book-review-education-2-0-the-learningweb-revolution-and-the-transformation-of-the-school/], [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1085478], [https://journals.psu.edu/illichstudies/article/view/59808], [https://digitalcommons.odu.edu/teachinglearning_fac_pubs/134/]. Meets WP:NPROF and WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 20:17, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• Keep. Clear pass of WP:Prof as above. Nominator needs to study WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:12, 12 October 2023 (UTC).
• Keep. I'm not sure about the distinguished professorship, but citation numbers look like they might be a pass of WP:NPROF C1 in a low citation field; I also take the John Dewey Society activity somewhat seriously. A cursorary search found several reviews [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1085478][https://www.philosophy-of-education.org/blog/book-reviews-archived/book-review-education-2-0-the-learningweb-revolution-and-the-transformation-of-the-school/][https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/edth.12071][https://journals.psu.edu/illichstudies/article/view/59808] of his books, which could yield a solid WP:NAUTHOR. I trimmed the indiscriminate list of journal articles, and more trimming is likely needed, but as usual, WP:DINC. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:12, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• Keep. The GS citations look healthy for a low-citation area (264,153,136,103,74), all single authored, with a fairly slow drop off thereafter. Reviews of the subject's several books with major publishers have also been presented. Meets WP:PROF and AUTHOR. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
• Keep per editors above who know what they are talking about. Johnbod (talk) 21:04, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
• :WP:MAJORITY is not an argument, I'm afraid. Suitskvarts (talk) 14:00, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
• ::Phooey! But since, for once, the editors who don't know what they are talking about haven't turned out, further discussion is unnecessary. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
