Thomas E. Kauper

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable law academic. All references are University of Michigan domains. No evidenceof independent coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Served as the Assistant Atty General for Antitrust for 2 years in the 1970s, the chief antitrust enforcement officer in the US.  That alone probably suffices.  Google "antitrust division kauper" and a raft of citations will turn up, including this Department of Justice award to Kauper and one of his successors, William F. Baxter, for their roles in the ATT breakup.  Link..  Here's another link, this one from a book describing Kauper actions as AAG.  He's notable.  JohnInDC (talk) 04:10, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As "the Henry M. Butzel Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Michigan Law School" he unquestionably meets thew requirements of WP:PROF.  DGG ( talk ) 04:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, if that claim were supported by an independent source, which it doesn't appear to be. It doesn't matter how famous a university is, it's still his employer and thus not independent. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm missing something but it would seem to me that the University is in a pretty good position to say whether one of its professors holds a named chair, and for the purposes of establishing that fact may be deemed a reliable source. JohnInDC (talk) 22:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
