No indication of notability except for his getting fired which falls under WP:BLP1E. Otherwise he's not notable as an academic or anything else. Jakejr (talk) 02:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Rename to Nicholas Winset Firing or such. He certainly does not pass WP:ACADEMIC, nor would he be expected to (he is/was an adjunct). But I am with a version of keep on this one because, if renamed to be about his firing (addressing the WP:BLP1E concern) and rewritten around the Controversy section, the article becomes about an event that looks to have legs. Besides the current links including BoGo and WaPo, it is featured on the Chronicle, which in turn links to another article published on Salon.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 21:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This was a story that generated a brief amount of news coverage. All the sources are from April 23 and 24, 2007 and I think WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS both apply. Jakejr (talk) 10:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete This appears to be a textbook example of both WP:BLP1E, since his firing seems to be the only noteworthy thing about him, and WP:NOTNEWS, since all of the sources appear within a week of each other. As they say, "the story did not have legs".  My own search did not find any significant coverage of him that did not involve his firing.  Since his firing didn't seem to lead to anything significant, I also don't see where it is a WP notable event. Papaursa (talk) 21:58, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Agree with previous delete comments. Both WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS apply.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.118.229.18 (talk) 13:59, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Neither the person nor event qualify as notable. None of the criteria set forth in WP:EVENTCRIT appear to be met and the individual's only potential notability relates to the event.--Rpclod (talk) 17:53, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
