*'''Delete'''. GS cites are 3, 3, 2, 2. That seems to be all. Not remotely enough cites to pass [[WP:Prof]] (minimum numbers required are usually around 500), particularly for somebody who works in the area of pop culture.

*'''Delete'''. I searched Worldcat and the web for a while, but could not find any third-party reviews of Fawell's books. As noted above, the citation record is also rather small. There is nothing else in the article indicating [[WP:PROF]] notability (such as journal editorships, awards, etc) and I could not find much else at the Boston University website. He does not seem to have a personal webpage there and the only page I found was from the college faculty info[http://www.bu.edu/cgs/faculty/humanities-faculty/fawell/]. There is also something that looks like an interview with him in the Boston University newspaper about one of his books. [http://www.bu.edu/cgs/2009/11/12/an-interview-with-john-falwell-about-alfred-hitchcock-and-his-actresses/] In a case like this I would want to see more than just the library holdings data for demonstrating [[WP:PROF]] notability.

This appears to be a run-of-the-mill professor. I can't find any significant impact that he has made in his field, nor can I find significant mentions of him in reliable, third-party sources. He has won an award, the Peyton Richter award, but that appears to be handed out by his college and not of the national/international scope required by WP:PROF.

There is nothing else in the article indicating WP:PROF notability (such as journal editorships, awards, etc) and I could not find much else at the Boston University website. He does not seem to have a personal webpage there and the only page I found was from the college faculty info[1]. There is also something that looks like an interview with him in the Boston University newspaper about one of his books.
