Is he notable enough for his own article? Skeptic's Dictionary already exists and is a notable website, but beyond that he seems to be an ordinary college professor (at a city college) with nothing else to assert notability. metaspheres 10:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. He is: the primary subject of an article in the Davis Enterprise, the daily newspaper of Davis, California, podcast interviewed by Skeptic (magazine), a very notable third party source independent of Carroll, interviewed by the New England Skeptical Society, also independent of Carroll, published on inquiringminds.org, a website run by CSICOP, published on mukto-mona.com, a Bengali humanist site that is quite independent of Carroll, interviewed by Greg Tingle, an independent journalist in Australia, and, (just for fun, not that this weighs much) you can purchase a term paper that cites him. I stopped looking after all this because it's pretty clear that Notability is established. I'll go add these links to the article now. — coe l acan t a lk  — 11:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
