Hugo Schwyzer

This BLP apparently asserts the subject's notability as a writer and a professor. The subject is clearly a prolific writer about himself, sex, and feminism, mostly in the blogosphere, but fails to as to WP:BASIC substantial coverage by multiple independent reliable third parties to show significance as a writer or professor. He unambiguously fails the notability requisites that seem most applicable – WP:WRITER – and the alternate WP:ANYBIO. The subject is also on this side of stellar as to WP:PROFESSOR.

 * Delete. After doing a search, I just added one short paragraph to the article about Schwyzer being banned from a feminist blog. At least it was reported in a real secondary source (the Atlantic), as opposed to self-reported. Even with that addition, although the guy gets a lot of notoriety, I don't see any real notability, as an author, a teacher, or a commentator.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:14, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am familiar with his work, and was not expecting to vote delete on this AfD, but after a pretty thorough search for sources, I haven't found any besides the atlantic article that meet our standards. 98.248.194.216 (talk) 08:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: "He has also written of the many times he has had sexual encounters with his students, including a class trip he was charged with chaperoning in which he had sex with four of his students." What? This is legit?--Milowent • hasspoken  05:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep. No BLP issues here.  It's a large part of what has made him a controversial figure - he's written about that and more in his personal blog, and in articles he's published elsewhere. 98.248.194.216 (talk) 06:26, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete, possible speedy G10. The combination of primary sources cherry-picked to show the subject in a bad light (however much he may deserve it) looks like a BLP violation to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
