Not sure if this individual meets WP:BIO in terms of the WP:PROFTEST. A fair number of Google Scholar hits, but I lack the knowledge to determine whether these publications are notable in terms of quality and importance to the field. The second paragraph also leads me to believe this is some kind of WP:COI issue at work (possibly a colleague or student?). Without WP:RS, the credentials appear to be similar to those at a comparable non-tenure assistant professor level. Delete unless this article can be sourced to show notability. --Kinu t/c 05:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I added some more information. The article already has reliable sources, listed under References. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 06:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I do not believe that a US Assistant Professor is notable. If they are, then every academic in the world should have an article. He clearly does not satisfy WP:PROFTEST. --Bduke 07:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. fails WP:PROFTEST further, article makes no claim of notability and ought to be speedyable. Pete.Hurd 07:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:PROFTEST and WP:BIO. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete, the article needs more references to pass WP:PROFTEST, on the other hand nothing of note has been added since April 2006 which probably means there is nothing or who ever started it lost interest. Alf photoman 14:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Sounds like a fine fellow, but the article does not show he meets WP:PROF as more than an average assistant professor. Edison 20:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
