Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Howard (writer and scholar)
Didn't find enough (if any) independent, secondary sources covering this self-professed "scholar". Didn't pass  as no hits on Google scholar as well JSTOR. He's got coverage in terms of Facebook and his own websites, but that just reinforces the advertisement-nature of article. In terms of , there is one book review, but, as you say, that's not enough to clear the hurtle of notability. His books were also published by very small presses and received little coverage when released. He has mostly religious writings, and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for insular presses for his works, but even his book on T.S. Elliot is more vanity press (according to WP policy) than bonafide, independent press and like you I can't find more than one review. So her fails  too
