Harold Marcuse
vanity page Hirudo 00:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think it's vanity. The author clearly states that he followed a red link about himself and that it is self authored. He may well be notable enough if somebody else wrote the article; I haven't checked that. I really feel we need to improve the message that appears when a user is invited to start a new page. Wikipedia encourages new users to get stuck in and then puts them through the AFD grinder - I know, it happened to me (Tredington Community Primary School). What I'm saying is that it would appear the editor was acting in good faith, but the article must go as it stands. --kingboyk 01:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes perhaps using the vanity term is too strong. Perhaps gut the article instead of completely deleting it? I wasn't able to find much useable info online. Hirudo 01:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I think delete it (with a friendly word to Mr Marcuse about autobiography). An incoming wiki link proves nothing. If it gets recreated by an independent editor the issue can be looked at again. --kingboyk 02:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup tag -- Astrokey44 |talk 10:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep if he's authored a book and teaches at a UC College...cleanup is needed, but I dont think it fits delete criteria NorseOdin 18:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, doesn't really pass the professor test. Stifle 00:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, non-vanity published author. Kappa 08:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
