This article has been written mainly by a single editor. The editor uses primary sources for all points. Roger Reed is an Oxford academic with no particularly significant contributions beyond that expected from a research professor. A previous request to delete article by another editor was declined on the basis Roger Reed has won some (rather minor) awards and is an Oxford academic. Virtually all Oxbridge and Ivy League professors have won some awards, and his contributions do not stand out.

If anyone is curious, Roger Reed has an impact factor of 44 ^[1], not particularly high for an Oxford professor at end of his career. Permitting it to stand basically lowers the bar of notability significantly.

There are no secondary sources to show notability at all. Johnnysmitha (talk) 20:25, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
