Professor John W. Kercheval, III
Seems to fail WP:PROFTEST, NN. A google search of Professor "John W. Kercheval", III reveals 35 unique hits, most of which have been copy and pasted Amazon book reviews allegedly by this professor on online bookstores. Hobbeslover talk/contribs 01:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Severe POV problems, most of article is unverified and undocumented.  Claim of authenticity by personal experience of writer suggests is original research, vanity article.  Tychocat 01:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete His appointment at Georgetown University is "Adjunct Professorial Lecturer". He may be on his way to notability, but, unfortunately, he is not there just yet. If he is notable outside of academia, then you would expect to see his name every so often in the Wall Street Journal.  Ted 02:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, definitely. Kafziel 02:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete--if true, I don't think it fails WP:PROFTEST, but I can say with confidence that everything on that page is crap. Adambiswanger1 03:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep and rewrite for NPOV. I would evaluate him as a businessperson rather than as an academic, and on that basis he seems to have done some notable things. Also, he's in Who's Who in America, which is usually fairly selective. TruthbringerToronto 23:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete just doens't meet my standards for notability. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
