Comment: Contrary to claims above, I don't think the current article on its face passes GNG, as the cited sources are not independent of the subject. The sources seem to consist of journals where Capone works as a co-editor, and his own scholarly work. Nevertheless, I would !vote '''weak keep''', as his editing contributions (specifically, editor-in-chief of a book series at Springer, and editor of a special series within ''Intercultural Pragmatics'') seem tantamount to  C8, "head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal". Capone may also satisfy GNG or PROF C1, but the current sources don't show that

Comment: I'm skeptical that we can use his editorship of a book series that mostly consists of his own edited volumes as evidence of academic notability, nor would his 11 edited volumes themselves count for much. But I found four independent and independently published reviews of his monograph, which may barely be enough for , and a couple of well cited papers goes some way towards #C1
