Basically a CV. Biographical details largely unreferenced while other references are mainly primary sources or completely unrelated to the article subject. Lacks in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources, as required by Wikipedia notability criteria. The article creator, User:Mecorbin08, is a single-purpose account with probable conflict of interest. Citobun (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT and WP:NOTRESUME. In theory, an argument could be made for passing WP:PROF, but this breezy resume and cover letter are a hot mess, as my students used to say. University administrators, by the way, don't automatically pass the PROF test. Bearian (talk) 14:17, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. "Perhaps known more for his 32-year career in higher education administration..." is characteristic of the non-claims to notability in this article, which is full of OR and is basically a CV created by a SPA acct (with a bevy of supporting redirects). The few papers I can definitively link to him on GS are low double-digit citations. Agricola44 (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete. Low GS cites. Incompetently written article full of bloat. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:40, 20 October 2016 (UTC).
