 * Delete as per WP:BIO ST47 15:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Book published by a quite selective scholarly publisher, Cambridge University Press. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 16:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since he is an assistant professor, it's unlikely that he is more notable than the average professor. See WP:PROFTEST. --Metropolitan90 16:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails to meet WP:BIO or WP:PROF. -AED 16:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The book is part of a series of monographs. This sounds like the type a work an academe produces to meet his publication requirements. I can't see that it satisfies WP:PROF. :) Dlohcierekim 02:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I could make almost exactly the same claim for notability - I've also got a book coming out in a monograph series from a selective academic publisher. So have a couple of my friends. But that doesn't make us notable, it just makes us ordinary junior academics. Cheers, Sam Clark 09:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anyone who is driven to fillling up space by listing their academic qualifications really hasn't done much to change the world.  I accept that we keep pretty much any institution that gives out degrees (although I have views on that), but it is too much to give every guy who sloped through a PhD and gets a cheque from a non-entity bible college their own Wikipedia article.Legis 16:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
