Peter Grossman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant or independent coverage. Google results show social media and short pages intended to promote him as a doctor. Mr. Guye (talk) 02:52, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Update Not even the external links give real info about him! --Mr. Guye (talk) 02:56, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I think you've got two different Peter Grossmans. The doctor is an LA plastic surgeon; the professor is at Butler University in Indianapolis. The Butler page seems to be down, but here's another one by the university. There's also an Amazon page and a well-trafficked blog that called Grossman's book the "Energy book of the year" in 2013. --76.105.88.229 (talk) 04:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Assuming the article is intended to be about economics Professor Peter Z. Grossman, he is quiet obviously a notable author. He is described in one review as "the preeminent historian of American energy policy." The initializer (talk) 06:29, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF. It's clear the nominator intended this particular Grossman (who is an academic, not a physician), because he listed the AfD in the correct deletion sorting categories. But he doesn't seem to have familiarized himself with Wikipedia academic notability standards before making this nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:39, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep deletion was simple case of mistaken identity. Article itself is now clear.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:12, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
