Talk:James V. Downton

Untitled
Help expand the article rather that prod'ing it. The person is a professor and an author of several books and articles that are widely cited. We have hundres of articles on such LPs. If there is an issue of notability, the process is WP:AFD. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Every professor worth his tenure has written at least a couple of books. There's no assertion of notability for this individual beyond that of an ordinary professor. If evidenc of the notability can be added then the article may be worth keeping. Otherwise the subject appears non-notable. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 01:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed if there aren’t any notable accomplishments of this professor, I also don’t think it should be added. But if there’s evidence that says otherwise I would be on board with having an article for him.--DavidD4scnrt (talk) 09:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Downton is immensley influential not so much through the number of publications he has had but because he originated the concept of Transformational Leadership. This concept has been developed and researched and continues to be of huge cultural signicance. The Enaging Transformational Leadership model is employed in commerce, industry, academia and coach training The article should remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.255.213 (talk) 10:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
