George A. Lundberg

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

Does not meet Notability or Verifiability policy. I was considering speedy delete but seemed more fair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikifan12345 (talk • contribs)
 * Speedy Keep - This is a very odd nomination. Lundberg clearly satisfies criteria #6 of WP:PROF.  The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution or major academic society.  He was the 33rd president of American Sociological Association.  I'm sure he meets other criteria as well.  The nominator was considering a "speedy delete"?  I suggest reading WP:PROF before nominating more academics for deletion based on "notability".PelleSmith (talk) 03:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment But there is no notability beyond his presidency. According to the article he wrote a book (not particularly popular) and had a preference for series of scientific subjects such as linguistics. Notability is not inherent, there has to be something explicitly notable or has potential for notability. Wikifan12345 (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've expanded the article from a published scholarly memorial in a sociology journal. It should now be obvious that he passes WP:PROF #3 (Fellow of AAAS), #6 (per PelleSmith), and #8 (editor of Sociometry). The memorial also includes citation data which make a clear case for WP:PROF #1. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed I like it a lot more. However, are there any 3rd party reliable sources (such as media-related) that discuss Lundberg? His legacy, influence, etc. Wikifan12345 (talk) 05:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I am assuming this means you are withdrawing the nomination. DGG (talk) 05:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
