Carlos Córdova

This professor does not seem to meet any of the criteria of WP:PROF. I can find only one review of his book, a 117 word capsule review in Reference & Research Book News. His faculty bio isn't any help in establishing notability, and I can't find much on Google except his blog -- the domain name of which suggests that the article is an autobiography by Kilayeomi (talk · contribs).

Weak Delete -- It pains me to vote this way, since ethnic studies is one of the research fields HUGELY underrepresented on Wikipedia, and the article contains no problems except notability. But even after uncovering some additional articles ("Undocumented El Salvadorans in the San Francisco Bay area: migration and adaptation dynamics," CB Cordova - Journal of La Raza Studies, 1987; "Hispanic-Latinos: Diverse People in a Multicultural Society," C Cordova, J Del Pinal - Washington, DC: National Association of Hispanic, 1995; "Organizing in Central American Immigrant Communities in the United States," CB CORDOVA - Community Organizing in a Diverse Society, 1992 - Allyn & Bacon), it just seems still under the notability guidelines, even if we stretch them a bit for developing fields. I hope others can find some more sources or awards, because I'd love to change my !vote. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 20:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, though I do agree with Myke Cuthbert above that this field is rather underrepresented. It just seems that this guy probably isn't a good example of an article that could change that as he's really stretching the concept of 'notable' as per WP:PROF, though I wish luck in finding sources if there are any.Also note that the creator is a WP:SPA. ~ mazca ^talk 07:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
