Talk:Eric Rasmusen

[Notable for only one event?]
This feels like a WP:BLP1E. But anyway, according to his CV, he's written these books: --Hirsutism (talk) 23:14, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Fair. I added this because people seemed to keep adding the controversial part to Eric Rasmussen (physician) and it seemed like it would be helpful to differentiate the two. GlobeGores (talk page | user page) 12:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello. I'm the subject, Eric Rasmusen. I actually had not one but two five-minute moments of notoriety. The first time was in 2003, in a controversy involving a weblog rather than Twitter (we see how technology changes...). I'm pretty well known in law and economics too--- not anywhere near the Nobel level, or even the Harvard professor level, but people in the profession know of me.  My game theory book is what I'm best known for, and my best-known article is on exclusive dealing in antitrust law. I'm afraid I'm likely to hit the news again this spring-- a heads up, because there might be a lot of people doing google searches for me, so an article on me might be (a) useful, and (b) involved in edit wars and vandalism when woke people try to insert sentences comparing me unfavorably with Adolf Hitler.  (I had fake blood dripped on my doorstep last year, so I know there are strange people with strange thoughts about me out there.)

While notability is inherently a subjective metric, it does seem that he is really only notable for his recent controversial social media posts and being on unpaid leave during this academic year while Indiana University investigates him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.212.19.163 (talk) 05:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
