Notability of subject not made clear and article is unreferenced. Largely edited by one editor, presumably the subject. Jsmithers09 (talk) 18:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC) — Jsmithers09 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. }
 * Strong keep - full professor at University of Durham, the third oldest University in England. He has a comprehensive and prodigious publication history, and edits important journals in the field of cybercrimes.  He clearly passes WP:PROF. WP:COI is not fatal.

 * N.B.: Nominator's sole contribution is to nominate this BLP for deletion. Curious. Bearian (talk) 00:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Didn't realise this being my first posting would be an issue. Subject is not notable - Google only brings up results from his positions at 2 Universities, pages on small time websites that he has written and listings for books he has published - but next to nothing in the way of reviews etc. Does every university professor warrant a Wikipedia entry?

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - appears to meet guidelines of WP:PROF. Eddie.willers (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not too many cites but probably reaches some of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC).
