Talk:Richard W. Garnett

Notability
Drawing from Wiki's requirements for academic notability, Garnett has "made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." The sourcing is in his faculty profile, which includes his CV. I can add more specific citations, but I assumed that his profile and CV would be enough. Additionally, he was previously linked on the List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States but did not yet have a profile. Abidjan227 (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Any independent references? CV's are not very often neutral - I should know as I've written quite a few for other people... Refs should be independent of the subject and not blogs, forums or editable (which rules Wikipedia itself out). Peridon (talk) 21:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can drum up a number of cites from news sources. Here's a few appearances on NPR:, , , .  And I could pull from several of his published articles, too, in prestigious law journals (Cornell, Michigan, UCLA, etc.).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abidjan227 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not got time just now to look at them - I've taken the tag off for now. Articles BY him are only good for establishing notability through being accepted for publication. What's in them is not independent. Better would be articles ABOUT him, or containing more than passing mentions. Will look again tomorrow - unless the office calls me in first thing.
