No evidence of WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG notability. Sources consist of (1) links to research or other primary sources (2) news articles about lawsuits. Article has become a battleground between editors intent to including or excluding articles about legal actions taken by and against the subject; WP:NOTNEWS.

 * Comment. Editors commenting on this case (especially those like me editing under identifiable names) should be aware that, according to one disputed version of the article and its two newspaper-article sources for this claim, Guerrero has already sued for libel 72 of his former colleagues at USC who signed an open letter concerning him. I note also that the IP editor who removed much of this material from the article explicitly used the word "libelous". In view of this history, I have no opinion on whether this article should be kept or in what state it should be kept. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:23, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOLAR, and runs afoul of WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Given the contentious nature of this article on a non-notable WP:Run-of-the-mill professor, it seems best to uproot this article from the encyclopedia, as no one here needs to deal with potential lawsuits.
