Adam Kennedy (scientist)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The original title of this was "Adam Kennedy (eco-scientist extraordinaire)" and it may be self-promotion (SPA author ). The tone could be fixed, but the substance is thin. The references are (a) the web-site of his own "Kennedy Institute of Teaching and Research", (b) a paper published at a Student Research Symposium in April 2005, (c) a presentation at a conference in 2006. The "Kennedy Institute" seems to be just a database and calculator for the Trans-Niño Index, but it is part of a larger site which includes Kennedy's CV, showing seven published papers and a current position as Faculty Research Assistant at Oregon State University. This is some way short of notability to the standard of WP:PROF. JohnCD (talk) 19:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as explained in the comprehensive nomination Kennedy's academic output is not sufficient for him to pass WP:PROF and there are a paucity of other reliable sources with which to establish a wider notability. Nancy  talk  20:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. A faculty research assistant (that is, grad student) whose work has not yet demonstrated any significant impact (the papers listed that are by this Kennedy have no citations in Google scholar). Fails WP:PROF, which (despite him not yet being a professor) is the appropriate test for this sort of academic work. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:00, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - by prodding Scholar a bit I did find two articles (the first and third are the same); but it's not enough. JohnCD (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * delete no evidence to suggest he passes WP:PROF, per David Eppstein. Pete.Hurd (talk) 02:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the page appears to have been self-installed, in violation of Wikipedia policy.Raymondwinn (talk) 03:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being an autobiography is not a reason for deletion (it's discouraged, but not an actual violation of policy), but the detailed nom clearly shows the lack of notability. Doesn't meet WP:PROF(or WP:BIO for that matter). --Crusio (talk) 09:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and the comments above. Does not pass either WP:BIO or WP:ACADEMIC. Nsk92 (talk) 12:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Per above, and not there yet. rootology ( C )( T ) 14:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
