Fails WP:NACADEMIC and appears to fail the general notability guidelines as well. While he is the chair of the Department of Classics at Stanford [1], that doesn't appear to qualify him under criteria 6 of the academic notability guidelines and he's an associate professor regardless. All of the current citations in the article are affiliated with Parker himself as well. Chess (talk) (please use {{ping|Chess}} on reply) 03:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The nominator's second AfD nomination of classics academics. What does the nominator think of the subject's citation record, which is not negligible for a classicist? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:35, 8 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]
I'm mainly looking at the sources and what I personally can see. I nominated it for deletion because I didn't see any sources not affiliated with the author and looking about on many websites doesn't provide me with much information on this person being well-known in their field. I'm not particularly certain what you mean. Do you have any sources? Chess (talk) (please use {{ping|Chess}} on reply) 04:49, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
