The result was   delete. Joyce Mercer only; DGG has suggested some possible claims to notability for others, and in any case multiple AfDs tend to be confusing to judge consensus anyhow, so we'd rather you didn't :P  Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 13:48, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Joyce Mercer

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to fail WP:PROF. Has been prodded twice; both times the creator has deleted the prod, claiming notability of the subject. The creator has been creating numerous articles about faculty at the Virginia Theological Seminary. User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 22:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep some, probably best done as Keep all, and consider the weaker ones separately. Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest of the Episcopal seminaries in the US,established since 1818 and offering a doctorate as well as the basic Master's in the field.
 * Markham is President of the school and thus meets WP:PROF. He's also published 7 major books
 * Cook holds a named chair, and is the author of 8 books, including a choice outstanding book. Meets WP:PROF.
 * Pritchard holds a named chair and is author of 5 or 6 books
 * Roberts may be notable as a musician.
 * Sedgwick also holds a named chair and published a half-dozen books
 * the others are in my opinion probably not notable, but I'm just going by the articles and their posted CVs without checking citations & non-academic notability. DGG (talk) 01:29, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go ahead and split some out, then. Roberts included; I'm not convinced of his notability, but I'm sure I can be persuaded... --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 * To keep things straight, I gather that you are withdrawing the AfDs on Ian Markham, Stephen Lloyd Cook, The Rev. Dr. Robert Prichard and Timothy F. Sedgwick, so this is now the AfD for Joyce Mercer alone, with the others moved individually to the Articles for deletion/Log/2009 February 11. DGG (talk) 04:21, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Right - I thought it best to do it that way. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 05:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The main nominee seems to not meet WP:PROF. Assuming everything in the article is true still makes her sound like a typical acedemic. So delete Joyce Mercer. Neutral about any others, as there are too many to check in one nom.Yobmod (talk) 13:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No independent sources that indicate she meets WP:PROF. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
