Subject does not meet the notability requirements of Notability (people). No evidence this associate professor has been the subject of non-trivial coverage by multiple, reliable, published sources. Contested PROD, so comes here. — Satori Son 13:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Just another professor. DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions.  -- Pete.Hurd (talk) 17:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some references. --Eastmain (talk) 18:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. While he has some record of publication, it does not amount to more than any other associate professor.  One book and a couple of journal articles is to be expected.  Fails WP:PROF.  RJC Talk Contribs 19:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please consider the publications about him listed under References. --Eastmain (talk) 19:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see book reviews and UCLA publications (or UCLA alumni association publications).  Neither speaks to his impact as a scholar (every book gets reviewed).  The alumni association article might speak to non-academic notability, but I don't think that alumni being upset over radicalism counts as notable, let alone something that satisfies WP:ONEEVENT. RJC Talk Contribs 20:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm going to agree with RJC and stick by my nomination. Close call, but I don't think either WP:BIO or WP:PROF is quite met. — Satori Son 20:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just another prof.  Madman (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * could you perhaps explain this cryptic remark? DGG (talk) 23:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep based on the references found by Eastmain. Edward321 (talk) 02:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The notability guideline is "more than the average college professor." An associate professor without significant press coverage, awards in his field, etc., doesn't qualify. RayAYang (talk) 21:34, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete One book, just published, and a few articles and some miscellaneous publication is not yet a notable academic record. DGG (talk) 02:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per RJC. --Crusio (talk) 08:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
