Potentially non notable historian, apparently according to the article a world leader in a very specific field. Prod was removed by the author following a brief discussion on the talk page. I am leaning towards delete, but bring it here so that a wider audience can comment.J Milburn (talk) 20:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
