Does not appear to meet WP:GNG; none of the provided citations offer independent coverage of Lunde, just works by Lunde. Searching the internet, Google Scholar, and my university library I was able to find two reviews of works by Lunde, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/43306320] and [https://www.jstor.org/stable/20697197], but which don't discuss Lunde himself or his role in the works at all. When considering the case for WP:NACADEMIC, both of the reviews I would describe as faint praise for the works, nor is there any evidence of a high h-index despite publishing extensively. One of Lunde's primary outlets has been Aramco World described as follows in an Indiana University paper [https://muse.jhu.edu/article/777512.]: {{tq|As Aramco World approached its fiftieth anniversary in November 1999, a retrospective feature touted the cosmopolitan ethos of the publication in its very founding, as it supposedly emerged from Aramco's culturally sensitive priorities. Presuming a fundamental chasm between US Americans and Saudis, the magazine sought: "to bridge the natural but enormous cultural gaps between its expatriate, largely American, workers and their Saudi counterparts and hosts … "7 Founded in 1949 in New York, Aramco World was modeled after other contemporaneous US publications like Life and Saturday Evening Post.8 In 1964, it shifted its publication headquarters from New York to Beirut, where it remained until the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.9...n the case of Aramco World, for example, tight Saudi control of the magazine's contents remained in place (as it does to this day), even though the magazine was being produced in Lebanon to, in part, present an ostensibly localized and authentic—rather than propagandistic—picture of the region.12}}; -- in other words, at best a general interest magazine, at worst a propaganda venture. In the absence of biographical sources about Lunde, I'm not seeing a case for notability. signed, Rosguill talk 04:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

  • Keep - I agree, there are plenty of reviews of his work and the fact that his books were published by Penguin and other reputable publishers should be evidence enough of his scholarship. 131.111.5.176 (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
