It is common for lecturers at schools like UCB to have high student ratings — after all they are hired purely for their lecturing ability. That is all the "Princeton Review" listing means, and it doesn't appear to involve in-depth coverage of the subject nor meet the "affecting a substantial number of academic institutions" clause of #C4 (which is more intended to mean: wrote a widely-used textbook). And as he is a lecturer rather than a tenure-track faculty member with research responsibilities, I wouldn't expect him to be particularly prominent in research. So the fact that he has multiple scholarly books published is unusual, but does not by itself make him notable. On the other hand, worldcat shows good library holdings of several of his books, and we've argued in past AfDs that that should be enough for #C1. And it's possible to find multiple reliably-published reviews of his books (e.g. http://rh19.revues.org/714 http://www.h-france.net/vol14reviews/vol14no28tombs.pdf http://ahr.oxfordjournals.org/content/119/2/590.short, enough to make an argument for . It doesn't make sense to ask for high citation counts or h-indexes for this area, so that may be the best we have to go on
