Apparently non-notable academic, h-index of 9. A number of marks of recognition are claimed in our article: "Richard M. Clewett Research Chair", "McManus Research Chair", "Sidney J. Levy Award for Excellence in Teaching"; a search for any of these on the web gives a good number of hits for this person, and few or none for anyone else. The Kellogg School of Management, for example, appears to be blissfully unaware of the Richard M. Clewett Research Chair (though one junior professor does claim in her bio to have received one). The article is poorly sourced, and there do not seem to be better sources available. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:38, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - I must presume that the original article was indeed deleted since this apparently fake AfD discussion dated 2006 must have been in response to a live article at that time. The current version only dates from January 2016. My guess is the original deletion was a speedy delete as there appears to be no valid AfD record and the bot generated banner above probably should be changed since there was no previous deletion discussion.

 * Yes it seems to not even have been transcluded, not properly filed (and not a discussion so theoretically this article was never at AfD before). — Paleo  Neonate  – 13:13, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Come on. It was deleted on February 11, 2006, per the Brandon Quinton discussion. This is mostly a waste of time because the article was not the same as it is now, current warts and all.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:21, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Articles for deletion/Brandon Quinton is your friend. Uncle G (talk) 12:58, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is ludicrous at times. The research chairs that you are talking about were taken out  by someone who was then accused of having a conflict of interest, and put back in by two Wikipedia editors, one using the vandalism rollback tool to do so. Uncle G (talk) 12:58, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
