 * Delete -- does not "clearly fail[] WP:Academic" by any means, since Presidents (etc.) of universities (etc.) are specifically singled out as a notable position. But in this case, the institution is an unaccredited school less than 13 years old and he was president for less than a year (source: his LinkedIn profile). While the criteria for major institution has generally been broad -- most accredited institutions with any history of existence has been included -- and occasionally even interim presidents, provosts, etc., have been kept on this criterion, it is not so broad as to include Stinde's service. I can find nothing else that would justify a keep vote; thus delete.  -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support. And yes, that's what I meant by "clearly fails". The criterion reads "6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society". This person has not done that. He is a clear fail on that criterion, and doesn't satisfy any of the others either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:29, 19 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Not even close to meeting WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG. Vanity article created by the subject. --MelanieN (talk) 00:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. The university presidency is not enough (it's clearly not a "major academic institution") and there seems to be nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:24, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 02:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
