Keep The subject is extremely notable as the world's leading expert on yodeling, with both reliable news articles stating this along with reviews in places like Library Journal. His books on yodeling have been published by extremely well regarded scholarly presses such as Routledge and the University of Wisconsin Press and he also wrote the entry on yodeling in Music Around the World: A Global Encyclopedia. In addition, he also appears to be notable for his non-yodeling writings, with his works excerpted and covered in anthologies such as Up Is Up, But So Is Down New York's Downtown Literary Scene, 1974-1992 from NYU Press. I have rewritten the article to add more of this information along with citations.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak delete~~ just publishing doesn't make someone notable if their work isn't reviewed in independent sources. The only review currently cited in the article is this one and a very brief library journal review and I wasn't able to find more. Other than that the most significant independent coverage appears to be the hudsonvalleyone article, which isn't very substantial. Not quite enough for a GNG pass imo, although it's borderline.

I just added more reviews and coverage of the subject's works from Rolling Stone, American Book Review, Booklist, Wisconsin State Journal, Review of Contemporary Fiction, The New York Times, and Entertainment Weekly. I think all of this combined proves notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 16:50, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in light of SouthernNights's contributions. Lead section could still be way improved, though. - Headphase (talk) 01:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
