Scott Cooper (professor)

Subject is not notable or "worthy of notice"; that is "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded." The awards and honors mentioned are not notable, and poorly sourced at that. Subject also does not meet creative professional criteria. Eustress (talk) 15:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. First, I should note that the nominator is using an incorrect guideline. For academics, WP:PROF is the appropriate guideline. Second, there was incorrect info in the WP article about his rank (which I just changed). He was listed as a "distinguished professor" (which would almost certainly have made him notable), while his vita available at the BYU website actually lists him as an associate professor, who was only promoted to that rank from assistant professor in 2007. The PhD date (1999) is fairly recent and there is not much in terms of citability of his publications that I could find in GoogleScholar, WoS or Scopus. I agree with the nominator that the awards listed in his faculty profile are not sufficiently significant to indicate notability. In short, I don't see enough here to satisfy any of the criteria of WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 16:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nsk92 and lack of references to satisfy WP:PROF. JohnCD (talk) 16:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete no books, a few articles and reports. The awards are just graduate fellowships. Not yet notable. DGG (talk) 01:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * delete No evidence of notable impact (according to google scholar, the most cited of the 7 peer-reviewed publications on his CV has 3 citations, both citations of his Security Studies papers are self-citations, as is sole citation of the Perspectives on Global Development and Technology paper... etc.) Pete.Hurd (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
