Christine DeGregorio

Non-notable professor. "Christine DeGregorio" gets only 90 unique Google hits, and I don't know how many people that covers. "Christine DeGregorio" +"Networks of Champions" gets 8 hits. amazon's ranking of it is 191,857. The title by the way, is "Networks of Champions : Leadership, Access, and Advocacy in the U.S. House of Representatives". The "Networks of Champions" title seems to be a series by different authors.

Delete, although Networks of Champions is her own book, not part of a series, AFAIK. I hope she doesn't see this vote; I had a class with her last year. Meelar (talk) 18:20, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

- Every single person who has ever written a book should have an encyclopedia article? RickK 06:23, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
  - No, only if they are professors or notable academics. Megan1967 07:13, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    - This article doesn't establish that she's notable. Even one of her students, above, doesn't think she's notable. Rick K 21:19, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Keep — Semi-notable. — RJH 20:13, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete. There are literally thousands of new books published a year by academics and many more journal articles. Heck, it is a "publish or perish" professsion. Virtually every professor is published at some point in his or her life or that person tends to no longer be a professor. Definately not a bar of notability when it probably weeds out less than 10% of the group. Indrian 13:47, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
Delete Not every published acedemic, professor or not, is notable enough for an encyclopedia article, but its hard to call. A listing on amazon doesn't mean anything, unless it is high ranking. Paradiso 03:34, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete As noted above, almost every academic publishes. As a comment, I don't think that the Amazon ranking is quite appropriate for evaluating the notability of academic work. Number of citations a work recieves would more accurate. Dsmdgold 01:36, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
