Keep per notability (WP:CREATIVE) as author and educator. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A googlescholar search (which is usually absolutely terrible in fishing out citations in humanities) gives significant results for him[1], in particular with 348 cites for his book "The rhetoric of science". Googlebooks search results are also impressive 296 hits[2]. I also did some searching in WorldCat, which is mainly a book holdings search but also has some (rather incomplete) data about journal articles. There are 27 journal articles listed there with reviews of his work[3], including review articles called "Rereading Aristotle's Rhetoric, Alan Gross and Arthur Walzer"[4] and the like. This already tells me that he is quite a notable figure in his field. Clearly passes criterion 1 of WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 03:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
