- Strong keep Respectfully, can I ask that you do an "all dates" G-news search before you AfD a professor at Oxford? I caught bylines in the Guardian and NYTimes w/i 10 seconds of searching, and then gave up, because this guy is clearly notable. --- tqbf 18:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, Glyn has been a notable author for decades. Poorly-researched nom. --Dhartung | Talk 18:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. His book Capitalism Unleashed appears to have been reviewed in The Guardian, New Internationalist, International Review of Applied Economics, World Economics, and De Economist. Socialist Review published an interview with him about the book, the first sentence of which is "Andrew Glyn has been a prominent left wing economist for more than 35 years." His name appears in the title of "A Virtuous Global Circle: A Response to Andrew Glyn’s Egalitarianism in a Global Economy", G. Garrett, Boston Review, 1998. By all appearances a leading figure in his subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:52, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- keep per David Eppstein & Dhartung. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep why don;t people who write academic bios at least look at the CV to get the right job title and WorldCat to get all of the books? Why dont people who nominate the resulting inadequate articles for deletion check these things themselves? He's not "employed" at Oxford, he's University Lecturer in Economics, and he's written over half a dozen major books, some translated into several languages. I added all this to the article.
