Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Marty Nemko

As I read the entry of Dr. Marty Nemko, he certainly does meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Here are quotes, substantiated by links to the primary sources, of his notability: His article, Higher Education: America's Most Overrated Product, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education, was among the earliest in the spate of articles and books calling for higher education reform. After its publication, the Chronicle hired Nemko as Guest Blogger. Nemko wrote features for WashingtonPost.com[31] and TheAtlantic.com[32] calling for government to require colleges to prominently post consumer information in what he calls The College Report Card. Nemko served on the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Task Force on Improving Higher Education Accountability and Transparency.[33] He has given eight invited presentations such as "America's Most Overrated Product: Higher Education" at the Commonwealth Club, a nationally prominent public affairs forum. He was on the Core Committee (Board of Directors) of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education, the national organization that focuses on improving the quality of teaching in college.[30] He was the senior author of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges procedures for accreditation and program review. He was selected by Toastmasters International as the non-member Northern California Speaker of the Year. In a comparison with eight other subjective college guides in Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, Nemko's was the only one to receive an A rating.[29] His book, Cool Careers for Dummies (Wiley),[11] published in three editions, was the #1-rated career guide in a Readers Choice poll and reached #2 on the Wall Street Journal national business bestseller list.[28]The San Francisco Bay Guardian named Nemko "The Bay Area's Best Career Coach".[1] In its summit on education, ABC-TV called him "The Ralph Nader of Education".[3] I also Googled Nemko and found much evidence of his national influence in the areas of career and education. For example, regarding career, Nemko was the subject of a long article by national thought leader Cal Newport. And Nemko's having written so many articles for so many prestigious publications---many essays in TIME's Ideas section, in The Atlantic, and Washington Post additionally support his notability.
