Not enough in-depth coverage to show they pass WP:GNG, and as an assistant professor, with virtually zero citation count, doesn't appear to pass WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:14, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to have zero notability as an academic to satisfy any of the criteria per WP:NACADEMIC. It seems that a book by the person in question may be released later, and if there are enough significant reviews, it may justify an article about the author per WP:NAUTHOR, but before that, there is nothing to warrant an article.

Delete - this article currently has a tag saying that the subject of the article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for academics. Vorbee (talk) 15:45, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as too soon for this young assistant professor. One of two articles written in good faith by a student editor without knowing about WP:NPROF. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:54, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Whether or not the article currently has a notability tag is beside the point (after all, any article can get tagged by an editor trying to push an agenda; notability is what we're here to decide). That said, I have the strong feeling that this article is just too soon. It's hard, although not impossible, for assistant professors to meet WP:PROF.

Delete. This short article is virtually content-free, but contains errors of grammar and/or punctuation and spelling. It is not doing any good for the subject person, whose website mentioned in the article is presumably much more professional. The subject could well be embarrassed by this Wikipedia article with its useless and ungrammatical assertion that "Thomas's responsiblities as a member of the Communications Collective of the Association of Black Anthropologists is to keep members informed and spread awareness of what the association is up to." --Doncram (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: title wrong If this article survives AfD, please move it to ~~"...(anthropologist)" with a small "a".~~ the undisambiguated Jamie A. Thomas (and add dab page entry at Jamie Thomas (disambiguation)). Thanks. PamD 17:18, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
