A person who canonizes; one who makes something canonical, official, or part of an approved standard or list.
From 'canonize' (to declare something official or standard) plus -er (one who does the action). Used in religious, literary, and academic contexts.
Critics and scholars act as canonizers—their choices about what to teach and praise shape which books, artists, and ideas become 'classics' that everyone knows about.
