Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan W. Clarke (2nd nomination)
I cannot believe the amount of discussion here conducted without any facts.  The references in the article need to be updated before any discussion of deletion.  And where that is concerned, all I hear is wikilawyering: "As an , he's an trivial scribbler."  "As an WP:ACADEMIC, I reject his minor school." Guess what, the school changed since the article was written, that's why the links are dead.  A small school it may be, but it is a center of death penalty study. Consider instead whether Clarke has made an impact on his field.  When he dies, will he get a NYT obit for free?  I am guessing he will. Whenever anyone else in his field writes a book about the death penalty, they come to Clarke for a review,  It sounds to me like he's the elder statesman
