 * Delete, vanity. Megan1967 00:50, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep after expansion. Uppland 04:54, 15 May 2005 (UTC). [Earlier] comment: Not really that obvious vanity, and he is Rouse Ball Professor of English Law at the University of Cambridge. I assume that an English jurist does not get that position without being somewhat notable in his field. No vote yet, but I may vote keep with some expansion. Uppland 04:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: no evidence that Feldman wrote the article himself, looks like it's by a Cambridge student/graduate/enthusiast to me. In the British university system, unlike in the US, the title "Prof" is only given to senior academics, so a Prof at Cambridge is a pretty senior position.  A google shows he's also contributed to books and been a legal advisor to the Houses of Parliament.  Joe D (t) 20:40, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have expanded this article and I think it now establishes notability. Joe D (t) 20:52, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: holding a named chair at Cambridge is notable. Nice job expanding the article to make it encyclopaedic. Ben-w 23:32, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable academic. Well done Steinsky. Capitalistroadster 09:54, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article as improved clearly establishes notability. Being titled Professor at a UK university is already an admission that they are more than an average professor (in the US sense), holding a senior chair in Law at the University of Cambridge automatically indicates notability.
