Speedy Delete Although the original nominator's argument must be tossed out due to WP:JNN, he is correct in stating that the article is not notable. The article is written like a list of all books that he has worked on and grossly violates Wikipedia policy.155blue (talk) 15:04, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The current article provides little, but Google searches suggest that, as the article states, Crowe is recognized for his work on Oskar Schindler[1] and other Holocaust-related issues. Here he is in The New York Times [2] and The Guardian[3], and here he is quoted in a recent news story [4]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:34, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and speedy close. Quite plainly the supporters of deletion have made no significant effort to assess the actual notability of the article subject (see, eg, http://www.elon.edu/e-web/law/faculty/crowe_david.xhtml) but instead are whaling away at a new article nominated here only minutes after its creation.

Snow Keep. His book holdings, as quantified by WorldCat, are hefty: 1695, 1009, 744, 535, ..., which far exceeds the WP:PROF c1 guideline. Article may not be very well written at the moment, but notability of subject is conclusive. Please WP:BEFORE. Best, Agricola44 (talk) 15:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Strong/Speedy Keep -- Agricola's noting of WorldCat book holdings is important. This is way beyond the norm for WP:PROF. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 14:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Sufficient career achievement to merit encyclopedic biography. Recognized expert on history of the Roma. Carrite (talk) 17:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
