Vice chancellor - not notable - Mr John Story, the chancellor has not got an article. Created because he resigned over a minor controversy, as in not news/one event. Off2riorob (talk) 00:52, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree he's not notable for resigning. However, wouldn't he be notable based on WP:ACADEMIC. His university bio, if otherwise confirmable, has a long list of achievements, including the Order of Australia.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:43, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I looked at the order of Australia and it seems there are differing levels of award and from what I saw his level isn't a automatic wiki notable level. His award is the lowest level of the award and he is not named or mentioned on the Order of Australia article. If he is notable for his scientific achievements that is something else that users may want to investigate - basically the notable thing his article has been created for is because of this really recent minor controversy - if he was notable prior and just needed this recent controversy to spur on the article creation then I will be surprised indeed.

 * I looked the order article, too. There are four grades, and Greenfield is in the #2 grade (Officer). He wouldn't be named in the article as that's reserved only for knights and dames, which, as far as I can tell, is very restricted and separate from the four grades.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:09, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm, perhaps your right - he looks like he might pass wp:achedemic - this cite from the AO website -  http://minister.innovation.gov.au/Carr/Documents/ANSTOBIOS.pdf - I might withdraw my nomination after these additional investigations, perhaps I jumped the gun giving undue weight to the reasons for initial creation.
