Comment sorry missed that, my bad, happy to close as speedy keep. Theroadislong (talk) 15:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. Meets almost every criteria of WP:PROF, plus WP:NAUTHOR and the WP:GNG: held named chairs at UCL and Oxford (#C5); was a Fellow of the British Academy (#C3); his 1975 textbook A History of Greek Art is still in print (#C4);[1] and widely-reviewed (WP:NAUTHOR);[2][3][4] his other books are also widely-reviewed;[5][6] his book on Athenian vases has been cited over 250 times[7] and according to Ian Jenkins "there can be few students of Greek art who would not readily admit their debt to him"[8] (#C1). There is a full-length entry on him in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.[9] Biographical obituaries were published in in the Proceedings of the British Academy (16 pages),[10] The Independent,[11] the Daily Telegraph, The Times (twice), the American Journal of Archaeology,[12] and Contemporary Authors.[13] His festschrift includes a biographical foreword and a full bibliography.[14] This is one of the most spectacular WP:BEFORE failures I have seen in a long time. – Joe (talk) 15:33, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
