Academic whose most notable achievement is to be the head of a community college. Largely unreferenced BLP. Viridae Talk 07:49, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Looks like a Keep under WP:Prof #5. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC).
 * You could get that by being the head of the local TAFE. A bit of sensible application of the guidelines would be nice. Viridae Talk 10:41, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * comment - I believe Xxanthippe meant to cite WP:Prof #6 (not 5); see his comment below.  #5 is limited to "a major institution of higher education and research," and a community college is not going to qualify.  But #6 covers "a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution..." and qualifies. TJRC (talk) 00:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * keep meets WP:PROF per Xxanthippe., , .  The last two are pretty much solely about her.  So meets WP:N too... Hobit (talk) 13:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep; as noted, meets WP:PROF; note that she's headed up two colleges, both of which are sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles. I don't see why the fact that they're community colleges disqualifies. TJRC (talk) 21:35, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Being head of a community college does not satisfy Notability (academics). No significant 3rd party coverage. EeepEeep (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Does a community college qualify as an 'academic institution' to satify WP:Prof #6? Xxanthippe (talk) 23:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Certainly it does. It grants associate degrees, and many students transfer from community colleges to full colleges and universities, with academic credit for courses taken at the CC. TJRC (talk) 00:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * And there are at least two articles largely about her.  So passes WP:N too. Hobit (talk) 02:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep She does appear to meet WP:Prof #6 and have enough sources. not exactly a household name, but marginally notable Vartanza (talk) 12:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF #6 and WP:GNG. The press coverage of her activities as president explain why #6 should extend to this level of college. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
