Raymond J. Noonan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject lacks notability as per WP:SCHOLAR, WP:BASIC and WP:AUTHOR. While the subject IS published there is no indication that his work rises to the level of notability required for an article. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. I can't decide if the subject's work is enough to meet our criteria or not - it is a narrow thing, on first glance. May review this one later, so someone ping me if more information comes out. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:50, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The lack of sourcing is one thing, but the claim and backing seems to be out there. Publisher mini bio helps a bit. The sexquest website could be a primary, but hasn't seen activity since 06. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:19, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. User:Randykitty left a note on my talkpage asking if I could comment here. As much as I hate to reduce the visibility of a sexology topic or sexologist, I am having trouble locating enough RS's to meet the notability requirements for this BLP.  I did an OVID search, and found only 5 published works, the most recent of which was >5 years old, and I couldn't find >any< publications in peer reviewed journals.  The websites describing Noonan also appear old/outdated.  (Even Noonan's own website,, appears to have been last updated in 2004.)  I cannot locate an h-index for him (which possibly relates to his pubs not being in journals).  I have not been able to find book reviews of the works Noonan co-edited.  So, overall, I am having find evidence of meeting WP:BLP and have to support the nomination.— James Cantor (talk) 13:56, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per well researched note by James Cantor -- I very much appreciate expert opinion weighing in pro or con in AfD. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 22:18, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. James Cantor's opinion is based around WP:BLP, but his research is enough to convince me that there also isn't a case for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:19, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per James Cantor. Misses WP:ACADEMIC, WP:BIO, and WP:GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 07:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
