Talk:Shawn Landres

Comment
I reviewed this article carefully and believe that it should remain up. There are more than 30 citations about the subject, including references from academic journals and national newspapers, like the New York Times. It is not overly promotional. I made a couple of small edits to the text for clarity. Again, I see no reason to delete the article.

Please sign your comments with 4 tildes (~). Thank you for your review. I must say, when I tagged this article, it had many fewer sources, so the sudden influx is interesting. I think it's good that this page will now go through the full AfD process, especially as it's so long. Thanks, Benboy00 (talk) 20:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I made some comments on the AfD page for this article. I have read it and the links to it. It seems to have merit to me, and there's no question of its relevance to a number of other entries. BrntwdCrtc (talk) 04:49, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Ph.D.?
Since the original article focused on Landres role as an "independent scholar," I tried to track down information on Landres' Ph.D.s but as recently as 2009, University of California, Santa Barbara Alumni Dept. were just crediting him with an MA in 1995. Since it was a news piece that had up-to-date information on his work with Jumpstart, I was surprised his Ph.D. wasn't credited to him. Landres was also running programs at UCSB as recently as 2008. It would be unusual to get ones MA in 1995 and, then, get ones Ph.D. from the same doctoral program, 14+ years later.

I also found that he was a student speaker at a 2005 UCSB graduation service and his doctoral fellowship was in 2002-2003. So, when, exactly, did he receive his Ph.D. from UCSB and Oxford? 2005? Or after 2009? Liz Read! Talk! 22:17, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Academic categories
If Landres is going to be placed in academic categories like "sociologist" or "historian", his credentials must be referenced within the article. This is most easily done by listing academic degrees (degree, subject area, year, institution) and having a section for "Works or Publications" (see WP:ORDER for listing of reference sections) that demonstrate expertise. Even an amateur historian, without academic credentials, must prove that she or he has done substantial work within this field.

See ACADEMIC for information on guidelines regarding academic qualifications. Liz Read! Talk! 13:32, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Since alumni categories are also being utilized, it is, again, appropriate to note in the article his degrees from these institutions or, if degrees were not achieved, when he attended these universities. Categories are meant to reflect content within an article not "add on" information that is omitted. Liz Read! Talk! 13:38, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Notes from December 2021 New Page Patrol review
It was flagged for review due to conversion from a redirect. I reviewed primarily with respect to wp:notability because that is the main question regarding whether it should exist as a separate article. Looks like somewhere between borderline and falling short in that respect, but IMO that not sure enough to take it to AFD, which would probably be needed to resolve the back-and-forth on conversion to a redirect. So I tagged it for wp:notability and marked the article as reviewed. To put it on firm ground regarding wp:notability you'll need to find and put in 1-2 independent sources that cover him in depth.
