Andy Bell (psychologist)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No demonstration of notability. Struggling to find any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either those in the article or elsewhere online. Fails WP:BIO and WP:NACADEMIC. Edwardx (talk) 10:48, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete; no properly sourced indication of notability. For the record, I'm technically the "creator" of this page, but I did so (in 2005, when our rules for establishing and sourcing notability were woefully bad and very different than they are now) only by converting the base title Andy Bell into a disambiguation page after other people had added this guy and the Ride bassist as an "other Andy Bells" coda to what was at the time an article about the singer. It's telling that nobody's ever added any proper sources to it since, but it started out as not so much my work as my correction of other people adding this content to Wikipedia badly.

 * Thank you, Bearcat. I did not join until 2006, so things must have been even worse in 2005. Edwardx (talk) 12:37, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per Bearcat. Articles in 2005 were not looked at with the same scrutiny as they are now. Fad Ariff (talk) 12:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Complete lack of sourcing to meet WP:GNG or WP:NPROF or WP:NAUTHOR. Low citation counts on Google Scholar, but did notice they wrote a book: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203994962/debates-psychology-andy-bell. Couldn't find any significant reviews. Searching was admittedly complicated by the number of Andy Bells. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:11, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
