I was about to list this for speedy as a non-notable professor but then I saw the "Interim President" line. Smith College is a notable college, but I wonder if an interim president (one who was jsut there until they could finish their candidate search) is notable enough to have an article. The interim presidency seems to be the closest accomplishment to being notable. Metros232 14:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, nn notable, no googles for this specific person, in any event there quite a few John Connollys.--John Lake 16:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 19:40, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. See autobiography at http://www.smith.edu/philosophy/jconnollycv.html Also note that he was a senior administrator at the college (Provost and Dean of the Faculty, Smith College, 1998 - 2001) before he became acting president. --TruthbringerToronto 21:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a college president.  -- GWO
 * Very Weak Keep. Before this interim president position, he was a professor. His Curriculim Vitae lists a fair amount of publications, writings, and talks, a significant amount of those being in the 70's and 80's, so they likely wouldn't be on the Internet. I believe this would make him pass the "professor test", as he, well, is a professor. The article is hurting for notability claims and verification, however, so this is only a very weak keep. --AbsolutDan (talk) 20:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I even wouldn't be adverse to a re-nomination if it is not expanded in a reasonable amount of time --AbsolutDan (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as fails WP:BIO. The fact the article has a link to his CV (or resumé) borders the article on vanity. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 00:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
