 * Hell Dr. Alexander, I mean La101570, a few things. It is entirely possible that you are notable by our standards, in this case WP:PROF. However, your draft doesn't prove that yet, and there are a few statements in there that are unverified and some that are possibly unverifiable--"widely read op-ed piece" is probably unverifiable (page views or whatever don't count; we need secondary sources). And the OSU award probably doesn't count here: we don't list university awards. If you were to get some MLA distinction or so, that's different. The Cheikh Anta Diop award, that helps since the NCBS is a national organization, but again, we need a source for that, preferably some note from a journal or newspaper. What else...add years for the degrees, in parentheses, and maybe add the dissertation director and the title of the diss. If that's what became African or American?, that's worth noting. Now, named/endowed chairs and presidents and all those people, they are easily notable. "Ordinary" faculty members have to get it differently, and for us the way is item #4 of WP:NACADEMIC--so add the reviews of the books and the edited collection. Ha, even if they are negative, they help. Good luck! (Haven't classes started?) Drmies (talk) 01:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
