 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Professor who doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Provided references are directory entries, YouTube videos, self-published pages and press releases. I found no significant independent references. Article looks to have been created by co-author of a book they wrote together (she had also created an autobio article which was quickly A7 speedied and an article about their book which was deleted at AfD), and appears to have been heavily edited by the subject himself with no significant contributions by others. -- Finngall  talk  15:23, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I removed five or six self-published, Amazon and Youtube 'sources'. The remaining sources, as well as  a cursory web search, do not turn up anything promising enough to establish WP:GNG.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.163.152.194 (talk) 05:57, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
