Deletion of Keith Kahn-Harris

Comment: Editing an article about one's self is not forbidden, so long as the editing doesn't introduce promotional material, or remove referenced material that the subject doesn't like. There is no problem about bringing better references to the table here - believe me, they are needed for a clear showing of notability. No matter how many people come here and shower praises on the subject, if there are no references in reliable independent sources  that back this fulsome praise up then their time is wasted. Don't just say he's the best thing since the Exodus from Egypt - give us evidence. I am also going to suggest that either the publishers of all three listed books be named, or the one that is should have that name removed. This is in the interest of avoiding an appearance of advertising by that publisher

Comment: Meets  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Most widely held book in libraries (co-edited), ''After subculture: Critical studies in contemporary youth culture'', currently in more than 320 libraries worldwide according to http://www.worldcat.org WorldCat. This book has over 190 citations on GS. I wonder if COI is really at play here; this book was no even listed in the article until I edited it a few minutes ago. Also has other books of solid impact

Comment: Further to my statement, have looked again at . The subject meets a couple of the criteria, of which only one is needed.''1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.'' The article needs citations to show this better, but Kahn-Harris has made significant impact on sociology of Jewishness and popular music studies. There are plenty of book reviews that could show this in scholarly journals, as I saw from glancing at Google Scholar. So, citations needed rather than AFD. ''7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.'' KKH's media profile shows this. When I have time, am happy to do some research to add citations
