No evidence that this academic is in any way notable, very few independent sources about him. Does not meet the standards of WP:NACADEMIC as far as I can tell, and fails to meet WP:GNG as well Joseph2302 (talk) 07:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Despite the spammy award and research project listing he has enough very highly cited publications (two with over 1000 cites on Google Scholar, including the single-author book School Subjects and Curriculum Change) to pass WP:PROF#C1 and likely also WP:AUTHOR (although I have not yet had time to look for the reviews needed for that). In need of cleanup, not deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:31, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There's an entire book about him and his work and it's easy to find other sources such as this chapter in another book. The subject therefore passes WP:BASIC. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:52, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Clear pass of WP:Prof. A puzzling nomination. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep, clearly notable. The article needs some work, some of which I've done - and I think that this probably supports the statement that he has an honorary doctorate from Gothenburg, stated in his personal website, but my Swedish isn't up to reading it! Was there any WP:BEFORE? PamD 08:39, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- And I've just added, as "Further Reading", the 2019 Routledge book Storying the Public Intellectual: Commentaries on the Impact and Influence of the Work of Ivor Goodson . "
