Subject fails WP:PROF, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:GNG. The coverage provided is either not independent or are mere mentions. While the subject has been mentioned elsewhere I don't think any of that passes WP:SIGCOV. I don't know what notability is connoted by mentions in Patheos, either. This article was deleted before and simply re-created, ostensibly as advertisement as the article features external links to the subject's NN publications.

The Nortons soon expanded their program...acquiring manuscripts by celebrated academics from America and abroad and entering the fields of philosophy, music, and psychology, in which they published acclaimed works by Bertrand Russell, Paul Henry Lang, and Sigmund Freud (as his primary American publisher).
"... Since those early days, W. W. Norton & Company has consistently published books that reflect their social moment and resonate well beyond it. Some of the era-defining books published by Norton include The Feminine Mystique ... A Clockwork Orange ... Thirteen Days, Robert F. Kennedy’s firsthand account of the Cuban Missile Crisis; Present at the Creation, by Dean Acheson ... ; Liar’s Poker, which launched Michael Lewis’s decades-long chronicle of Wall Street’s greed and hubris; and The 9/11 Commission Report ....

Nobel Prize winners include Nadine Gordimer, Seamus Heaney, Eric Kandel, Paul Krugman, Edmund Phelps, Joseph Stiglitz, and Harold Varmus; Pulitzer Prize winners include Dean Acheson, Jared Diamond, Rita Dove, John Dower, Stephen Dunn, Erik Erikson, Eric Foner, Annette Gordon-Reed, Stephen Greenblatt, Maxine Kumin, Joseph Lash, William McFeely, John Matteson, Edmund Morgan, and William Taubman.

A prospective article needs two reliable sources specifically about it. That's it.– how on earth did you come to that conclusion? To pass the GNG, we need significant coverage, and JPL has eloquently explained why that threshold isn't met in this case. WP:PROF provides an alternative set of criteria that is easier for academics to pass, because they are rarely the subject of significant biographical coverage. But unfortunately Park does not seem to meet that either. There is no conspiracy; we're just trying to apply fair and consistent standards for inclusion. – Joe ( talk) 11:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
"an individual is presumed to be notable 'if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject', and expands that 'if depth-of-coverage is not substantial, then multiple less-than-substantial independent sources may be needed to prove notability'". It re-states that coverage 'must be more than trivial and must be reliable'".
