Deletion of David Spiro

Comment: I get GS cites to be 191, 122, 30, 28, 18, 11, 7, giving h index = 7. Somewhat low for usual rof #1. Citation patterns in this area are unknown to me. He might pass on uthor. Input from scholars in the field and info on library holdings would be useful

Comment: His book belongs to the Cornell Studies in Political Economy series; it appears to be an academic monograph. As such it will likely appear in academic collections as a matter of course, and I don't think the number of library copies will be particularly meaningful; I think we should try to evaluate this in terms of  rather than invoking uthor on purely numeric evidence. But my usual trick for digging up academic reviews of books (enter the title at http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/) came up dry, and I don't see any other evidence that he passes  #1 nor any other of the  criteria

Comment: Possibly meets  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). The citations in GS and books, including at least one by a prestigious university publisher (Cornell UP), add up to a certain level of notability. A somewhat unusual career path though
