Procedural nomination. Proposed deletion tags have been removed repeatedly by the subject of the article, or one of her employees or relatives. I would say it is a weak delete, as deans of colleges are not per se notable, and I'm not certain that she passes the notability guidelines for academics. Bearian (talk) 16:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, as I don't see how she meets WP:PROF. The fact that it's written by her daughter Hallie Cochran introduces further issues of sourcing, WP:OR, and WP:COI. -- Transity  ( talk &bull; contribs ) 16:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable per WP:ACADEMIC. The obvious COI by the subject's daughter leads to inflated and unsubstantiated notability. Doctorfluffy (wanna get fluffed?) 17:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete  According to WP:PROF the dean of a school is not  intrinsically notable, but might me if one considers the school--we generally consider deans of major law and Medical schools as notable. She is Dean of an academic division in a fairly good but undistinguished non-research university where over half the students are part-time students in distance education programs --I can not judge from the Wikipedia article the importance of this college,  as it talks very little about the academics there, emphasizing the athletics and the fraternities (not that one should judge the college itself unfavorably from that--except that the college PR staff had a major role in writing it--and see List of Troy University alumni ). I do not consider her notable as an administrator. She has apparently done nothing notable otherwise. DGG (talk) 19:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
