- I'm amused that the deletion sorting says United States and the article says American. That led me completely astray, until I turned up the potted author autobiographies in several of this person's books. This person is a professor emeritus at Acadia University, in Canada. But there's nothing other than author autobiographies, and that university's staff listing WWW page, that I can find. Uncle G ( talk) 19:13, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I found 12 published reviews of 5 of his books, only looking at the academic literature (I suspect there may be more in the SF-fanzine world; searching was made a little more difficult by a different Raymond H. Thompson, an archaelogist of the US Southwest). That's enough for WP:AUTHOR. I also fixed his nationality and listed his academic affiliation, sourced to a faculty directory at Acadia U. — David Eppstein ( talk) 22:15, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. David Eppstein has clearly demonstrated a WP:NAUTHOR pass here. -- asilvering ( talk) 22:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
