- Thank you for your input. For notability, in the future please consider searching Wikipedia for references to individuals you don't recognize as notable rather than relying on inbound link counts. His notability is well established, and I have added some wikilinks from those articles to this one. While working on a draft for an upcoming article regarding a topic in the sociology of emotions , I mentioned this particular researcher among many others but noticed he had no article where interested readers might reference his other works. There were many other such omitted academics making important contributions, but this particular academic has been a central architect of this field along with Barbara Rosenwein.

- @Mariamnei:It has been near a month and there has been no response to what I believe was a refutation of the percieved issues with the article. 2 books have been added from researchers who both have wikipedia articles citing Reddy as foundational to their work. Based on their view that Reddy is notable, and because both Rosenwein and Ute Frevert are regarded as notable, then Reddy is even more so. If there is no dispute about this matter after two weeks, I shall remove the Multiple issues template regarding notability and reliance on primary sources. While it is true that more material could be added on Reddy, such as some of his academic papers and an overview of how these concepts were important to his overall work, my view is that attention is best focused at this time on increasing the quality of the articles on some of his foundational contributions, such as Emotion regimes and emotives.
