 * Delete - fails WP:PROF. Verbal   chat  17:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article provides three reviews of his book. That must make him notable as an author even if he has failed notability as an academic.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  20:23, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep UNH isnt Harvard ,but I wouldn't call being a professor there an unsuccessful or necessarily unnotable career. The GS search is sufficient to show it is in this case. DGG (talk) 01:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I hope that Harvard isn't the standard for notability, but this person is hardly notable. Is there even one article on this project, except for the one about him, that would link to this article?  Just one?  If I were rewriting the University of New Hampshire, would I even include him?  I doubt it.  He lacks any reasonable standard of notability, including a Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize, something other than one book?  Based on that standard, someone needs to write an article about me on here. Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 20:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Additional comment Not a single article on all of Wikipedia links to this gentlemen. That means, IMHO, that this article exists solely in its own universe with no relevance to any other article.  This is ridiculous.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 23:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO and hence, is not notable even by Wikipedia's low standard of notability. Shot info (talk) 06:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Did a search for refereed articles written by him in Academic Search Complete, which catalogs articles in his field, to see if he could met the academic/professor notability criterion #1. Got three entries only, in disconnected areas. Number of citations: 2 for two of the articles, and 1 for the other. Five citations total in that database; definitely not enough to meet criterion #1.--Eric Yurken (talk) 18:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO not even remotely notable. Paste (talk) 19:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication that he has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources or received prestigious awards or any of the rest of it. - Eldereft (cont.) 15:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Communications professor that has written 3 books . Few reviews. Books are not referenced often. No other scholarly work. Fails all criteria on WP:PROF. - Atmoz (talk) 18:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
