Page has been unreferenced since its creation in June 2008. Subject fails WP:BIO due to a lack of secondary coverage; all I can find are videos of him on You Tube explaining why Southwestern College is best. Article is also a long-standing orphan, as Nolan is only linked to the Southwestern College (Santa Fe, New Mexico) page. Yoninah (talk) 23:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I couldn't find any mention in Google News, Books, or Scholar, other than contact information for Southwestern College. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 23:30, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment About half the article was advertizing for the college, which I removed. What's left is about the subject. Edward321 (talk) 23:33, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only possibility for notability is WP:Prof#C6 but I don't think that the College is major enough for that. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. I agree with the comment above regarding WP:Prof#C6. I am OK with redirects in cases like these, but it's probably not even necessary. Location (talk) 16:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep we would do well to keep to the convention that presidents of colleges are notable. It's a very simple rule. DGG ( talk ) 01:00, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the policy has been modified to apply to major institutions. I'm not sure how major this one is. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I concur - although I see that it is accredited, the college does not seem major to me. I had quite a hard time finding reviews of the college on Google, for example. Not yet enough to make me change my vote. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 09:51, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A college with eight core faculty is not a major institution and does not pass WP:PROF#C6, and the article offers no other indication of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:29, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article subject does not pass notability.--EdwardZhao (talk) 18:51, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
