Per source searches, this subject does not meet WP:BASIC notability. Other than the primary source in the article, which isn't usable to establish notability, searches are only providing name checks and faint mentions in independent sources. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - Agree that BASIC is tenuous and secondary sources may be lacking. Deaddebate (talk) 03:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete contrary to what it stated, the source in the article is in no way primary. It is a secondary source that is a note on an individual created by a scholarly press in publishing the papers of a notable individual according to current scholarly conventions. Such notes are clearly secondardy sources. However since they are created on most individuals mentioned in the paper, they lack the level of discernment alone to show notability. Nothing about Bennett's varied positions and actions rises to the level of notability, nor does the coverage of him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:12, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to meet WP:ACADEMIC for being dean of School of Law at Boston University. Ifnord (talk) 18:04, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
