There are claims to notability in the article. There are currently two sources in the article, one to the frontpage of the City Colleges of Chicago that at best just verifies he is a professor there, does not help establish notability. The other are multiple links to Chrucky's own website, this does nothing to establish notability. I have found 1 news article that mentions him in passing. None of the web results I have found for him are indepth coverage from reliable sources. Nothing I have found establishes notability.  GB fan  talk 02:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. The most likely claim of notability for him would be under WP:PROF #1: if we could say that he was the leading expert on Wilfrid Sellars, maybe that would be enough? But I don't think he is. Google scholar finds multiple other researchers, writing directly about Sellars, with greater impact. Chrucky comes in at #12 in the list. I'm not sure how seriously to take the citation numbers from Google scholar; they're far too low to consider as evidence for passing WP:PROF, but it may just be that Google scholar doesn't cover this area well. On the other hand the ordering of these authors by impact, given by Google scholar, seriously undermines any claim for notability for Chrucky: he doesn't even make the top 10 of scholars on a very narrow subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete  In the article on Sellers in the authoritative Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,  he is not mentioned as an authority on him or listed in the bibliography.  DGG ( talk ) 20:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
