I just declined an A7 speedy on this bio of a author/professor but I have doubts that he passes WP:BIO either as a writer or an academic. Nancy talk  17:39, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – article fails to provide independent references of substance - they are mostly Press Releases. Only one very minor GNews. GHits lack substance.   ttonyb  (talk) 17:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Mild Delete per nom. There is some interesting stuff here but no real evidence of notability I'm afraid. NBeale (talk) 18:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Thanks for your comment. Perhaps you could explain what's required to achieve "real evidence of notability." Following Wikipedia's criteria for notability within academics, awards are emphasized as a measure of whether or not an academic is "notable." Sean Jasso was awarded the Brother Mel Anderson, FSC Alumni Award for Excellence in Academics at the La Salle Academic Awards Ceremony on September 24, 2009.

 * Comment – Per the criteria, "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." The award is not "highly prestigious" or "at a national or international level."  The award appears to be given by a local high school/college prep that Jasso attended.  ttonyb  (talk) 15:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. No GS cites for WP:Prof #1. Seems to be professional puff. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Strong Delete. Article is chock-full of WP:PUFF that mostly cannot be substantiated, for example "Jasso is known for his trans-disciplinary approach to political and management theories, known as Jassonian theory" – the only Google hit for "Jassonian theory" is this WP page, so nobody else seems to know about it. That may be because his book is actually just a print-version of his thesis. (Abstracts are almost identical.) Zero peer-reviewed scholarly papers in both Wos and GS gives an undisputed h-index of 0. The article is almost all just naked WP:PUFF touting his consulting business and his thesis. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete, a high school alumni award?? Beyond that -- it's quite a feat to get an academic position with such a thin record.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 14:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per the other deletes. Joe Chill (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
