Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial independent sources. red dog six (talk) 21:38, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry but this page is really intended to neutrally present a notable US leadership reasearcher and I don't understand why it has been tagged for deletion again. It surely is a very basic page but one has to begin somehow. As for more resources/references, I will update them later and hopefully more people will join me in improving the quality of this entry. There are definitely many connections between Gordon Curphy and other Wikipedia entries that can be harnessed. Rastoduris (talk) 22:32, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Rastoduris Can you provide indication of at least a few reliable sources? I did a search and could only find links to his books for sale, and his own sites. Unless there is evidence that reliable sources exist, I will have to vote to delete. LaMona (talk) 16:53, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. He gets some hits at Google News and Google Scholar, but I'm not really very familiar with WP:PROF or identifying notability of professors. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:11, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any reliable sources on him, well at least for the claim of notability in the article. In Newspapers.com, the are articles establishing that he was a pretty good college hockey player. He is not a prof, so WP:PROF doesn't apply. --I am One of Many (talk) 06:27, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You're right. I must have gotten confused with a different AfD or something.  He does have a decent number of hits on Google Scholar, though.  I'm not really in the mood to pour through all those results, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, also tried to locate decent sources, but couldn't find any reliable secondary sources. I do not exclude the possiblity that the person is notable, but in absence of those, the topic fails the WP inclusion criteria. --Reinoutr (talk) 14:07, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
