Keep well published and his rural planning work has been covered in reliable sources. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 19:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I see 12 or 13 articles, no books at all, and several dozen conference presentations. I;m having a hard time verifying his position, but he turns out to be an Emeritus Professor [1]--not all such pages appear in Google. He apparent is or was director of one ofthe sociology units of ISU Extension per [2], Frankly, less than convincing. The GNews links almost all come from the same presentation, but I have yet to identify it. Pre-internet era faculty without published books are often rather hard to document adequately.DGG (talk) 01:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
