Andreas Teuber (second nomination)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously speedied for copyvio (see above, was done today), but resuscitated in a different form that is no longer copyvio. However, notability is still questionable. Dennisthe2 18:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC) NOMINATION WITHDRAWN, see the commentary below. Didn't realize the motive. =^^=;; --Dennisthe2 18:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

AFD IS STILL ACTIVE - nomination cannot be withdrawn after delete votes have been cast. If you think that I am wrong about this, then I nominate the article pro forma myself. - Richard Cavell 00:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the nomination can be withdrawn, it's just that the AFD cannot be speedily closed. -- Black Falcon 03:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete/Speedy Delete this article looks like a no-brainer for deletion. Don't think it passess WP:Bio in any shape or form. HagenUK 21:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I would have thought that it would be recognized immediately that a Member of the IAS and an associate professor at Brandeis. Obviously publications and so on can be listed properly,  as well as info about his earlier career which I think is N by itself, though it isn't as easy for me to judge; but there is at least one newspaper article on his work there. Speedy for  copyvio was justified, speedy for N would not be, as it should have been clear others might have thought him N  even from the stub. I'll rewrite the article, as I seem to be frequently doing. I wish these faculty guys & their friends were less lazy about it.  DGG 23:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, remember, just being a member of a group and a prof at a university does not automagically give notability. It's like being a member of MENSA and an employee at Google - it's cool, but not a qualifier. --Dennisthe2 18:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * it depends on the group. IAS is a very limited circle indeed. And a major development or research position in Google is notable, and we have a number of articles on such people. It depends on the position. (just for the record) :)DGG 21:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep The speedy was because the professor simply reprinted his faculty biography page, and there was a questionable claim of copyvio.  I created a stub because the speedy delete created a red-link.   Put a notability tag on it, and give the article some time.  I don't understand the notion that a Wikipedia article has to be perfect within 48 hours of creation. -- TedFrank 23:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, this has me convinced to withdraw my nomination. NOMINATION WITHDRAWN, somebody close this? --Dennisthe2 18:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * ...withdrawn withdrawal. --Dennisthe2 21:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable academic. Does not meet WP:PROF.  Also, you can't withdraw a nomination when there are already advocates to delete. --Mus Musculus 03:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Clarification - I speedy deleted the first article that was written under this name because the text of the article was originally published under a copyright message on a University's website. It was also written by the subject of the article. A new article now exists on the same topic, written by a different author. The present problem for this AfD, on the new article, is notability under WP:BIO. If the nominator' attempt to withdraw is valid, then I nominate this new article myself pro forma in order to allow the AfD to run its course on notability concerns. I reserve my judgment on it. - Richard Cavell 00:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The 4 references provided establish notability in the technical sense and his being a fellow at IAS establishes notability in the more general sense.  In response to Mus Musculus, a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University is not a run-of-the-mill, generic, no-different-from-my-neighbour's-husband's-uncle, "non-notable academic".  -- Black Falcon 03:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
