Jimmie Lenz

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable business person. Reads like a resume. Being a lecturer isn't notable and I don't find any critical discussion of him, only him talking about various things to media. Oaktree b (talk) 20:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Businesspeople,  and Finance.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:43, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

* Keep: He also serves as the Irene and Frank Salerno Visiting Professor of Financial Economics at the Duke University, and leads the Digital Asset Research and Engineering Collaborative (DAREC). He has served as Adjunct Professor at Darla Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina. Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 22:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Simply being a professor is not enough to satisfy WP:NPROF. Holding a named chair position is sufficient, but I am unsure if the Irene and Frank Salerno Visiting Professorship fulfills this. Curbon7 (talk) 03:51, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * , WP:NPROF C5 "can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level". I don't see any way that the visiting professorship meets this. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

*Note: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce recently thanked him here(first and second paras); I don’t think he is a Non-notable scholar.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 23:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see very little sign of WP:NPROF -- low citation counts, visiting positions only, etc.  The passing mentions do not add up to a pass of GNG, writing articles in the popular press does not grant notability (unless there is evidence of impact), and I see no other signs of notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:06, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Note to the Closing Admin. Professor Jimmie Lenz is “Executive in Residence” in the Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University, that’s why he is an Irene & Frank Salerno “Visiting Professor” in Financial Economics in the Department of Economics, Duke University. And “Executive in Residence” is a possible chair position.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 21:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Not the kind that passes WP:PROF. That is for permanent faculty members given the chair as a form of recognition of outstanding scholarship, above and beyond the full professor level. There are many other kinds of named chairs (those for junior faculty, ex officio chairs for administrators, those like this one used to fund short-term visitors) and while some of them may be an honor they are not what #C5 is about. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree, Professor Jimmie Lenz doesn’t qualify under WP:PROF.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 17:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep. Appointment of Professor Jimmie Lenz as Executive in Residence (Business School) at Duke University (which is ranked among the top universities in the United States and in the world by major publications. ) recognizing his prior achievements in the corporate sector, qualifies him under WP:ANYBIO or WP:NACADEMIC (C) .Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 18:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Lake Ontario Wind (talk • contribs)  is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.
 * WP:NPROF C6 is basically for presidents (occasionally provosts) of universities. The routine appointment to a visiting or adjunct (in the older sense) position surely does not meet that! Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:01, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I am only talking about Executive in Residence (Business School) position, not the visiting or adjunct capacities. As a creator, I have the right to vote and any closing admin will come to know easily who has created it.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 20:32, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The Executive in Residence position _is_ a visiting position, as the Visiting Professor title indicates. It is certainly short of the highest-level position (president, in this case) of the university! Russ Woodroofe (talk) 23:22, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Really I am not sure, discussing further won’t take anywhere from my side.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 05:21, 11 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Note to the Closing Admin. Based on other editors votes/remarks, if the article is supposed to be deleted, please shift the article to my user space.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 05:21, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Does not meet any of the WP:NPROF criteria (executive-in-residence and a named visiting professorship are not satisfactory), nor is there WP:SIGCOV for the purposes of GNG. Curbon7 (talk) 19:01, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable academic, fails all criteria of WP:ACADEMIC (and seem to have been created by the subject). Jeppiz (talk) 23:47, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * , If I am the subject, why I should have created Canada–Peru Free Trade Agreement and Canada's Global Markets Action Plan? The subject has nothing to do with Canada. And again I am currently staying in a different continent.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 01:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

, read WP:BLUDGEON. You created this article, you're the only one editing it, and the only one in this discussion who wants to keep it. Fair enough, but you don't need to comment on every 'Delete' vote. You've made your position clear, and it's equally clear nobody else shares it. There is not one criteria of WP:NACADEMIC that Lenz is even close to meeting. Jeppiz (talk) 11:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * , I have stopped responding to ‘Delete’ votes after my discussion with User:Russ Woodroofe; please see my talk page. I raised concern of your ‘Delete’ comment only for - “(and seem to have been created by the subject)”; and bringing WP:BLUDGEON at this juncture will lead to WP:CIV issues, please see WP:IDENTIFYUNCIVIL - 2. Other uncivil behaviours - *(a) taunting or baiting: “deliberately pushing others to the point of breaching civility even if not seeming to commit such a breach themselves. All editors are responsible for their own actions in cases of baiting;....” By accusing I am the subject, I doubt whether you are violating the above. You can go for CU; really I am not in North America for a long time.


 * I have really come to know Professor Jimmie Lenz after the recently held ‘Duke Digital Assets Conference’ where Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and Commissioner Kristin Johnson, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission also participated.Lake Ontario Wind (talk) 13:12, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
