Subject has written books and many journal articles and book chapters, but does not show up in secondary coverage. There also seems to be a conflict of interest in the page creation by User:JTrap, who knew all the biographical details and parentage of the subject without citing any sources. The page was PROD'ed in 2007 and the PROD removed by the page creator. Yoninah (talk) 18:32, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: It seems to me that he probably passes both WP:Prof #6 and #8.
- WP:prof 6 via his past presidency (2005-6) of the Association for Anthropology and Gerontology
- WP:Prof 8 via being a past editor-in-chief (2001-4) of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology and also the Managing Editor (1991-1993) of the perhaps less notable Journal of Ritual Studies. (Msrasnw (talk) 21:06, 31 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- Weak keep with a GS h index of 11 in a poorly cited subject may pass WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:04, 31 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep. In addition to what Msrasnw listed, the subject appears to pass WP:PROF #6 per the directorship of the UT Austin Center for East Asian Studies. Richwales (talk · contribs) 03:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Directorship would not qualify. Category is for President or Vice Chancellor. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:07, 6 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]
