The maintenance tag BLP unsourced describes the actual state of the article and as a community we have decided not to have unreferenced biographies of living people, academic or not. This is independent of the notability argument. Had the article been created from scratch it would even be subject to Proposed deletion of biographies of living people. I've reinserted the tag as it helps projects such as Unreferenced BLP Rescue Do not remove it again without adding a a good source. Thanks. Please also be aware of our policy regarding edit warring --Tikiwont (talk) 16:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand what you're saying. This currently is just a short 'authors' notice with respect to citations in other article's. The tag has not inserted by me to start with but also reflects imo that with respect to biographies we either go beyond such unsourced stubs or renounce for the moment on inclusion. At this point it's best to wait for others to join the discussion at the article's talk page (which is part of the idea of the tag) or open up a deletion discussion. Are you sure nothing has been written about him and his work? Being cited in Wikipedia (or not) is by itself not a clear indicator of academic achievement (or lack thereof). It' after all the encyclopedia that anybody can edit. --Tikiwont (talk) 17:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
