Speedy deletion of James Paul Gee
A tag has been placed on James Paul Gee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:18, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding Speedy deletion of James Paul Gee
James Paul Gee meets the |Wikipedia Notability Guidelines for Academics. Specifically, in accordance with guideline 5, he holds "a named/personal chair appointment... at a major institution of higher education and research." His named chair status is described on his ASU bio page here: https://webapp4.asu.edu/directory/person/1054842. A search of his publications through Google Scholar shows that he is highly cited, demonstrating that he also meets guideline 1, "the person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". I have added this information to the article's Talk page. I will be developing the article further over the next few weeks. It will become clear in the body of the article that Gee also meets notability guidelines 2, 3, 4, and 7. Jlwelsh (talk) 20:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
