Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maurice Larkin
I wrote the stub because I think he passes . For starters, most profs do no get lengthy obituaries in high-circulation newspapers (but Larkin got one); that disproves your  theory. Arguably he passes PROF #1 with three of his works: his PhD thesis got published as a book and was also translated. ''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
