 * Speedy Delete 2 papers no assertion of notability, seems to qualify as nn-bio to me. --Pboyd04 19:56, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; Doesn't meet the criteria for notability. Tom Harrison (talk) 21:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Revise I can't see how this academic is notable from reading the text of the article. If his notable status & achievements could be brought to the fore then the article would merit inclusion.  As it stands, delete. -- (aeropagitica) [[Image:Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg|25px|UK]] 22:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems clearly to be notable. Are we looking at the same article? He seems to be very active in studying consciousness, and has edited an online journal that is at least marginally interesting. James James 22:50, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Work published in peer-reviewed journals, founding an online journal and notable involvement in the society for the study of consciousness clearly make a case for notability. --EncephalonSeven [[Image:Flag_of_the_United_Nations.svg|25px|UN]] 15:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO. Many people have had work published in journals. Books are required. Stifle 00:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Founder of only international organisation promoting scientific study of consciousness, only on-line journal promoting consciousness research. Disagree with Stifle (above); no-one who is a serious scientific researcher is judged on their books but instead on peer-reviewed literature. Books entirely irrelevant. Dupin


 * Keep. Agree with Dupin. As the founder of the ASSC and Psyche - both of which are important and were at the time of foundation truly visionary contributions to the promotion of the interdisciplinary academic study of consciousness, he is clearly notable. Moreover, his publications in peer-reviewed journals prove his seriousness as an academic and he is currently editing an important book.
