Found through New Pages Patrol, created 31-Mar-2022. No indication in article that this classicist and clergyman is notable. No footnotes. Bibliography references "Alumni Oxonienses", which does not look like a marker of notability. I have carried out
WP:BEFORE and not found sources to add.

Keep I note there is only one book and Wikipedia normally requires multiple for
WP:GNG with three the norm. However, the book is from 1887 and still available online. Compared to 2022 when books are easily printed, you had to be important in 1887 to make it into a book, so to me that counts for a lot. Also he is close to being
WP:AUTHOR as by translating Aristotle's (no less!) work into English, he really did play a major role as defined in criteria 3. Absent for a clear pass at 3 is someone doing a book review of his work, but mentioned that he translated it are vast. So to me that's a 90% pass on two notability criteria, plus the argument above for
WP:PROF is persuasive. All these imperfect factors to me are enough for me to be comfortable to !vote keep.

I note the Alumni Oxonienses entry mentioned in the article says "for list of his works see Crockford." If only we could find Crockford...

Keep as he passes
WP:PROF and an important literary role in translating Aristotle, so the article should be kept in my view particularly as it has been improved since nomination,
