Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you're contributing; however, I'm worried that Stuart J. Youngner may not be a professor who meets our notability criteria for academics. Then again, I'm not sure- you may simply still be creating the article, and not be finished adding information and sources. I used a 'proposed deletion tag' on the article, which gives you up to five days to work on the article before we look at it again. You should check out the criteria, and see if you can add info and sources that would show how he meets them. The rules allow you to remove the proposed deletion tag, but if you do, the article can be immediately referred for deletion (and you lose that five days to work on it), so make sure you only remove the tag if you're absolutely confident that the article shows how he meets the criteria. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

What to do
What you need to do is to simply rewrite the most important material in your own words, and then remove the prod tag. List the awards, and list the editorship. Give the list of degrees. List the books, and add some book reviews. Include mention of 2 or 3 or the most important journal articles. That should do it. The book reviews should serve as references, and list his web site as an External Link. ask me for help if needed. DGG (talk) 21:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
