delete she has been spamming promoting herself on the internet. this is against the law!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Macromacromm (talk • contribs) 22:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
I question the notability of this article, because being Dean of Law doesn't automatically mean that you should have a Wikipedia page. In addition, if you look on the University of Adelaide website, Rosemary Owens is not the Dean, John Williams is. If you Google her name you find a string of petitions. In addition, she hasn't even got one connection on her LinkedIn page (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rosemary-owens/21/909/835). There are questions on both the notability, as well as neutrality of the article. There is a lot of information about her on this page, including how she is a tutor, a senior lecturer, her education degree, arts degree majoring in history... They aren't even referenced. Seeing how she has created a LinkedIn page to advertise herself, it seems this Wikipedia page has been created for the same reason. Unfortunately, this is an encyclopedia, not a place for advertising yourself! Kingwadez (talk) 13:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's little content that can be seen as advertising - it all seems like simple factual statements about roles she has held, without any other opinions expressed. As such, I can't see any real reason for the tags, so I've removed them for now. In regards to notability, a Dean is the highest appointed academic post in an Australian university, so on those grounds she appears to pass Wikipedia:Notability (academics). - Bilby (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
