Non-notable academic lacking GHIts and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC.  ttonyb (talk) 02:58, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Most of these articles have either been started by the prof themselves, or more often than not as investigation will reveal, by their teaching assistants who have been ordered to do so. This type of behaviour on the part of self-promotional and non-notable "academics" needs to be challenged. Wikipedia is simply not a hosting service for vanity pages.

 * Weak delete. I don't think we need to attack the author of our article in order to evaluate it on its own merits. I did find two full-length academic reviews of her book at 10.1080/02773940701402545 and 10.1353/rap.0.0031. That's not surprising, though, and it's not enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF — it provides enough material to source an article about her works, but it doesn't really attest to their significance. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced; associate professors are not usually notable unless strong outside references are provided. --MelanieN (talk) 02:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
