Page has been tagged as questionable notability since May 2008 with no additional sources. Subject has no apparent results in Google News, and Google Scholar shows only subject's own papers and occasional citation. Khazar2 (talk) 04:25, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per WP:AUTHOR criterion 3: author of at least one book that has been the subject of multiple independent periodical reviews. See the 5 reviews quoted at the front of the paperback edition of The Benefits of Famine, or search GScholar for his name in the article title. I also get results that appear to conflict with nominator's finding that "Google Scholar shows only subject's own papers and occasional citation"; top citation counts of 603, 313, 267, which seems very high for his area, enough to meet WP:ACADEMIC criterion 1.
