Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seth J. Frantzman
It looks like 's "...is widely cited by their peers or successors" is close with several Google Scholar (remove the quotations since his middle name is not always used and minus the handful written by him, then there is another citation of him in Google Books) hits showing his work as citations. "Widely" ''might'' be questioned. There are also potential sources that are not currently shown in the article which contradicts the assertion that the available coverage is "by" and not "about". For example, Sabria Jawhar wrote http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sabria-jawhar/taking-offense-to-saudi-a_b_519566.html this in response to the Saudi Arabia opinion. An official diplomatic response showed some notability and professionals discussing it shows even more. And although Criticism sections are frowned upon, there appears to be even more peers and potential RS discussing the guy. See the http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1123061.html source attributed to Benjamin Pogrund as an example. I also recommend combing through the Google News Archives a little closer. It will take awhile since so may hits are simply articles he wrote but not all are. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/48189 Here is a random one (I assume Cybercast News Service has a right slant but it appears reliable in this context). The article needs improvement but the minimum requirements (for an  at least) appear to be met or at least close enough that focus and time might be better spent finding sources over debating deletion
