This article has been tagged for 'notability concerns' since March, and these have not yet been addressed. I don't think a simple college professor qualifies as notable? JulieSpaulding (talk) 10:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment One might think that he wouldn't be notable being an average-Joe professor but the professor-article people will check to see how often he's been cited or if he's published a book or two, depending on the field, and he'll be notable. There are special ways to search for citations to yield the correct results so you should wait until they report back before making any hasty conclusions. Drawn Some (talk) 10:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. This looks more like a cv than an encyclopedia article. I see no evidence in the article that he passes WP:PROF, and Google news and Google scholar searches didn't turn up any. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:01, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not enough substance for notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete. I see that the article does list some journal publications, but none of them are in Web of Science according to the most liberal query: "Author=(McConomy B*)". It's possible that said journals are not widely distributed or recognized. However, taken with David Eppstein's findings that he's not in any of the Google resources either, a fairly strong case of non-notability on WP:PROF seems to have formed.
