Philip Bockman
Listed as still under construction, but as it stands already, doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * delete per nomination. This character has 98 Ghits, only 24 unique. I have established that indeed he writes: New York Times carried 3 letters he wrote, Science News 1 letter. Clicking on links to what appear to be scholarly texts come up as dead ends (no appearances of "Bock" on the pages in question) and the link summary indicates he may have participated as research assistant. He seems to have a piece entitled "Fishing practice" in "Boys Like Us", but this 1996 publication by Avon books is not ranked in Amazon (and no credit to him). I have supported deletion of people with a greater number of significant articles than this person. No sign of his writing; He is a gay activist, but a pretty minor one on both counts. 3Ghits for Goldfein Award of which 1 for Wiki, another for aperson who claims to have won it, and one for Penn University for their Jewish studies programs. Clicking deeper reveals no "Bockman" on the list of winners going back to 2000. Ohconfucius 04:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
