Notability not established. The article was already proposed for deletion but the author removed the proposal after adding a link to an award. LittleOldMe (talk) 08:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: no WP:RS found to establish notability for this apparent autobiography. ww2censor (talk) 11:08, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: even the one mild claim of notability ("received the Vice-Chancellor's exemplary teaching award, given each year to a professor who exemplifys teaching excellence") proves to be exaggerated (it is not a singular award; eight professors received it that year.) However, in contextual defense of the creating editor, the Prod that was placed on the article was a BLP Prod, so adding a source and deleting the Prod was legitimate... but still insufficient to make this article worthwhile. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:20, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see anything here that meets WP:PROF and a brief search found nothing to add any notability, nor any reliable sources.  Ubelowme (talk) 18:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is not the most exemplary piece of work, copying categories from Ted Snyder (economist), including faculty roles, promoting Sister Project material that draws a blank, etc. As to the subject himself, no evidence that he meets WP:ACADEMIC. AllyD (talk) 18:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm leaning towards delete - there is nothing in the article currently to the effect that he's especially quoted or published per the Prof test. There has been no consensus yet that a Dean or VP is automatically notable, and AfDs have been all over the place on that question. Bearian (talk) 18:01, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * But he isn't even a dean; he's an "associate dean", which is basically a vice dean. -Nat Gertler (talk) 22:28, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - per AllyD.  →TSU tp* 14:57, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Mid-level university administrator, fails WP:SCHOLAR. No particular notability found to support WP:BIO. --MelanieN (talk) 15:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
