WP:NN academic. One publication that won an award fails Notability (academics). I've been unable to even confirm the existence of this award, no-less its significance or even if this individual indeed won it. Failed after  Toddst1 (talk) 21:02, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * delete non-notable. I consider any head of a department at a major university in the UK (a professor in the UK sense of the word) to be notable, however this bloke has only ever got as far as assistant professor, and has only written one book or something. He's 37, that's quite early in an academic's career, so no doubt he will do more in the future and can have an article then. He won this award  but it's only from the publisher by which he was published. Google scholar for his book  Google books  gives only a handful of hits, annd none from google news.

 * Delete - not been a full professor and nothing sourced that demonstrates the notability of his work. TerriersFan (talk) 22:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Junior academic with one book. Does not yet appear to pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete David E says it exactly. I placed a prod2 on this; the article has ben since fleshed out with a long list of links to the various authors and their works that he talks about in his one book, but that's not what makes someone notable. any beginner does it.

 * Delete non-notable.  The argument for removing the prod was unconvincing - getting an award from one's publisher is pretty slim.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable recipient of local award and author of one book. -- Swerdnaneb 17:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:PROF as non-notable academic. Jenafalt (talk) 17:52, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A very junior academic (PhD 2004), with just one published book. Does not pass WP:PROF for now. Nsk92 (talk) 03:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
