Another article created by indef blocked editor user:BiH, many of whose paid creations have been deleted  or are currently under AfD. The sources are all either dead, unreliable, primary, faculty staff listings, or very fleeting mentions. Bluntly said, the references are the result of scraping the Internet barrel. Without better sources it fails WP:PROF and BLP. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:21, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete As another editor said in a related AfD. A promotional article by a paid editor is an advertisement . Advertisements are not appropriate for Wikipedia and should be deleted. J bh  Talk  00:42, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep This is not the slam-dunk delete that other BiH-created articles tend to be. The subject of the article should be judged on wp:academic criteria, and I think that he fares rather well. He is the dean of a college at Carnegie-Mellon University, and holds a named chair in that college. These are generally the criteria that one looks for in an academic. There's a small amount of puffery, but I generally find the article to be factual in nature. LaMona (talk) 17:15, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article was laden with non-notable puffery and copyvios, but I think I've cleaned out most of it. He obviously passes WP:PROF and also #C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
