 * Keep. Passes WP:PROF criterion #8 (editor-in-chief). Established journal published by Taylor & Francis, now in its volume 14.--Eric Yurken (talk) 13:59, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I add a reflist section to the article. Apparently several refs were in, but the reflist section was missing.--Eric Yurken (talk) 17:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete due to conflict of interest. Let non-involved editors recreate and rewrite it if necessary.--Boffob (talk) 14:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. COI is not a deletion argument.  Newman easily meets WP:PROF and more generally WP:BIO; article needs improvement, not deletion. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but re-write, virtually all references are self-references. Apparently passes WP:PROF but definately needs attention to eliminate autobiographical and COI tone. Theseeker4 (talk) 16:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep since this is apparently salvage-worthy and meets WP:BIO rules. JBsupreme (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep but needs improvement due to conflict of interest and self-made/autobiographical tone. SydLyra (talk) 00:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and time we though of a place to post a notice visible when people place afds, that we do not delete because of COI DGG (talk) 02:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
