Vanity, professor-cruft, or notable individual? How is notability being demonstrated within this article? GRider\talk 20:52, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. A clear cut case of vanity, given that it was created by User:Danolsen and an edit summary says "this is my father and for a class we are supposed to write an article someone we know that has made contributions in their field." Even without this, he doesn't pass the average professor test for me. Gamaliel 21:58, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but with reservations. Needs rewrite and expansion. Megan1967 23:10, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Fam-van. Doesn't seem a notable professor to me. It's hard to tell what those publications are; if many of them are books or anything substantially beyond the basic publications all professors are required to do I may change my vote. -R. fiend 00:08, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem to pass the professor test. Delete, with the same provision as R.fiend. Radiant! 09:14, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - much more notable than any Pokemon - David Gerard 14:47, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Despite being more relevant that a Pokemon character, he does not meet the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. Wikipedia is inconsistent. By the way, the picture in the article sure looks like a copyvio from [1]. Rossami (talk) 00:18, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
