Philip Nelson (professor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears very non-notable. Only 2 references, one of them being a book he wrote. Jcmcc450 (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge I believe the concept is notable but only one article is required for Search good, Experience good and Philip Nelson (professor).Jonpatterns (talk) 09:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. Phillip Nelson (with two L's in Phillip) has written at least two hugely successful works, the "Information and consumer behavior" one already mentioned (5658 citations on Google scholar), and "Advertising as information" (3338 citations on Google scholar), enough both to pass WP:PROF and to avoid WP:BIO1E. Apparently he was Bartle Professor of Economics at SUNY Binghamton so he also passes #C5. The article needs to be moved to a correctly spelled title. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:53, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
