Emmet Sweeney

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Minor fringe theorist. Article (and its subject) fails WP:V, WP:N, WP:PROF, WP:RS. Biruitorul Talk 18:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reliable independent source to establish notability.--Boffob (talk) 18:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Boston (talk) 23:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:PROF; see also WP:FRINGE.  None of his books has been published by an academic press, nor is there evidence of any academic position.  I couldn't find any evidence that anyone has taken him seriously enough to rebut his claims.  RJC  TalkContribs 15:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. A WorldCat search returned 15 book entries, several of which were duplicates, and almost all published by small publishers. The most widely held, Empire of Thebes, is held by only 146 libraries worldwide in electronic form. A Google Scholar search for him as an author yielded only a few articles with even fewer citations. A Google News search returned nothing.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:36, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:PROF and everything else too. JBsupreme (talk) 03:35, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Eric Yurken. Fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:FRINGE. --Crusio (talk) 09:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Likely promotional, fails several guidelines. The subject may grow more notable, but it shouldn't be because wikipedia made it so. Dahn (talk) 03:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
