The article on this academic and psychotherapist currently has three references. One is a book review with no information about the subject of the article apart from verifying his profession. The second is an interview. The third is a publisher's page about one of his books. This isn't significant coverage in reliable sources so I'm doubtful about his notability. Page has been tagged as needing more citations since 2010; WP:BEFORE has not found me anything to add. One of his books won the Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship, so it's possible that book is notable. Holmes himself, per the publisher's page, has won the Bowlby-Ainsworth Award, but that does not have a wiki article. Tacyarg (talk) 20:50, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I did a quick search and found one independent review of his work, I note also the awards. Did your WP:BEFORE include google scholar? I ask because I don't have time to do more, but I found one quickly. (asking in the context of WP:AUTHOR just needing one more and perhaps one plus award = notability....?)

- Speedy keep: the top three results in Google Scholar are 2011, 995, and 402 citations respectively. Very strong numbers, actually. StAnselm (talk) 22:50, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The results on Google Scholar are enough to establish him as an academic and an author. He must be big in his field because there was a conference dedicated to his work:
- Peripheral Visions': A Conference Celebrating the Contribution of Jeremy Holmes and 20 Years of Psychoanalytic Studies at Exeter University, UK By: Hepworth, Mary, British Journal of Psychotherapy, 02659883, , Vol. 35, Issue 2
- The article says very little about him biographically and hopefully could be much improved if those kinds of sources could be found. In addition, there is much room to include information on the impact of his work. That may require subject expertise to do him justice. Lamona (talk) 03:26, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Withdraw as nom, others have made good points, thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
