Deletion of Maurice Larkin

Comment: adding to the above: For historians and others in the humanities it is always advisable to check scholarship in the form of books and their institutional holdings. Larkin's output/impact were obviously tremendous, with holdings statistics from WorldCat: ''Man and society'' http://www.worldcat.org/title/man-and-society-in-nineteenth-century-realism-determinism-and-literature/oclc/2680873&referer=brief_results 916, ''France since the Popular Front'' http://www.worldcat.org/title/france-since-the-popular-front-government-and-people-1936-1986/oclc/17483136&referer=brief_results 790, ''Church and state after the Dreyfus affair'' http://www.worldcat.org/title/church-and-state-after-the-dreyfus-affair-the-separation-issue-in-france/oclc/866899&referer=brief_results 701, ''Religion, politics, and preferment in France since 1890'' http://www.worldcat.org/title/religion-politics-and-preferment-in-france-since-1890-la-belle-epoque-and-its-legacy/oclc/30594213&referer=brief_results 395, ... These numbers show a conclusive pass on  #1, entirely independent of GNG. Nom may wish to withdraw. Keeping this AfD open any longer will only be wasting time

''The Independent'' obit says it "is still the standard account of the subject" (presumably in the English literature though). His last two books ''each'' had a 2nd edition. He also passes the rather format test #5 (named chair) and #3 as Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (the latter is not as distinguishes as a FRS, but adds to his formal recognition in the field
