• Comment: this is promotional CV like content that is copying some sources Czarking0 (talk) 04:53, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: May be notable as an academic, but existing references do not show significant coverage about Rhodes in reliable independent secondary sources - lots of work by him, plus some routine employer, institutional and publication profiles, but no SIGCOV. What about reviews of his books, for example? Paul W (talk) 08:11, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
