Republicans for Revolution January 12, 2012 by Mark Lilla regarding The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin (Oxford University Press) 99.181.147.68 (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?[edit]

I'm a professor exploring the boundaries of Wikipedia's notability requirements. Granted that Corey Robin is a decent academic professional and has written books, what makes him notable? Is it just because hee writes on a topic that many would deem relevant (politics), rather than, say, German Literature? Why is there a Wikipedia page for him and not, for example, David Bradshaw (U. Kentucky)? Theguide42 (talk) 12:15, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. He also quotes himself . 2A02:C7C:AAA4:9600:E900:BF45:3BEB:E10D (talk) 23:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'min agreement. He seems to self aggrandize and sets himself up as a authority on Conservatism Whitebear1967 (talk) 17:30, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Negative explaining ("If there isn't A, then there shouldn't be B") is not very academic, because academic is about expanding the knowledge, not diminishing it. So to answer the question: some articles don't exist, because they haven't been written, or have been written but dont fulfill the required standards for WP. Since WP has no editorial, that assigns articles to writers, this happens especially when the topics are less popular or don't have a solid base of interested people. This seems to me rather logical, which either means the required standards for being a professor are very low or you ain't a professor. (See "reversal of the burden of proof", which is the same principle.] 95.91.64.232 (talk) 12:48, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
