lack of references, also different authors disagree about the values and truths of these (few) references Tauʻolunga (talk) 06:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability would come from being head of the Atenisi Institute, but it is an very small institution indeed, and I'm not willing to stretch WP:PROF that far. Insufficient publications to count as an expert in his field. But I note that scholars in the humanities and social sciences always disagree about the merits of each others' work. What counts is the amount of attention they pay to it. The nominator should have mentioned that the article was once considerably longer--see the article history. But this was not an ordinary content dispute--that version was noted for unacceptable BLP material, violating DO NO HARM. In fact, I'd recommend a Speedy Delete on this to remove those revisions. I'm reluctant to remove them during the AfD, unless another admin agrees with me.  DGG ( talk ) 14:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't find appropriate sources to meet WP:GNG, doesn't appear to rise to the requirements of WP:SCHOLAR. --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  19:16, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * delete due to lack of non-trivial reliable independent sources and past use as an attack vector. This gentleman falls into the category of marginal cases where we should err on the side of honouring the subject's request for deletion, received via and apparent also I believe in the edit history.
