Delete The problem is that the article is not sourced to works about him, but works by him. The sources do not in any way demonstrate notability. Being a historian is not in and of itself a sign of notability. Some historians are notable, others have not contributed a body of work that meets the notability guidelines for authors or academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:24, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
