Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Todd May
Are we working with any biographical secondary sources? Because if so, I haven't seen them, nevertheless enough to write a biographical article that does justice to the topic. None of his book reviews go into enough depth to even describe his writing career. To review the above links, the ''THE'' and ''The Guardian'' reviews are both hopelessly short, leaving the ''LA Rev of Books'' piece. As I said months ago, ''The Political Philosophy of Poststructuralist Anarchism'', which is supposed to be his standout work, was only reviewed in ''Ethics'' (philosophy journal) and ''Choice'' (very brief listings for librarian purchase recommendations): it isn't |independently notable. And his other books did not receive many major reviews. The Google Books links have little substance on May apart from repeating what he said, e.g., even in the first link of the group, which has the longest relevance, there is no analysis and only recitation. I'd welcome other sources, especially if they are offline or in languages other than English. I would support restoring the redirect to Post-anarchism#Approaches, which is another mess but at least cites a secondary source in May's relation to "poststructuralist anarchism", the work for which he is best known, but since that single-sentence mention serves little function in the article, I'd also back the nom's rationale to delete
