William L. Wilson (Rice University)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Professor at Rice University with no assertion of notability besides tenure as RA at a residential college. Appears to be an obituary and a copyright violation of an essay written for a retirement dinner. No significant coverage in reliable sources independent of Rice University.

 * [[Image:Symbol merge vote.svg|20px]] Merge : into Rice University Ipatrol (talk) 01:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Although a touching memorial, it doesn't meet notability criteria WP:ACADEMIC, WP:BIO. ~ Ciar ~ (Talk to me!)  19:13, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge into Wiess College. Wilson is the most important figure in the college's history, which is not complete without a history of him.  Also, assertion of copyright violation is incorrect; permission information is indicated in the article's discussion page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgewebb (talk • contribs) 22:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge. Per Ipatrol and Georgewebb, to either article, RU or WC, or maybe both. Not enough notability to justify a standalone article.--Eric Yurken (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. — BQZip01 —  talk 14:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
