This BLP article has no reliable sources and seems to fail notability for an academic. Attempt to prod the article was removed without explanation, hence AFD. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 15:17, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I added one reference from a book review, but I agree that it is dubious if he passes notability criteria. Thenub314 (talk) 19:45, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clear keep on basis of WP:Prof#C5. Would the nominator comment on the GS cites in this case and whether they contribute to WP:Prof#C1? Xxanthippe (talk) 01:28, 28 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Speedy keep. Passes multiple criteria of WP:PROF: WP:Prof#C5 (as Distinguished Professor at CUNY), WP:Prof#C3, as elected member/fellow of several national and international academies, etc. Recommend withdrawing the nomination. Nsk92 (talk) 02:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Notability as a Distinguished Professor at CUNY(City University of New York) would be fine to meet WP:Prof#C5 except this claim is unverified. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 12:28, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please give me a break. There are a ton of sources verifying his Distinguished Professor rank, some of them already listed in the article (e.g. this one [1]). Here are several more: Graduate Bulletin at Leham College[2], Lehman college history page[3], faculty profile at the Master of Liberal Arts program at the CUNY Graduate Center[4], Lehman College Distinguishe Professors page[5], etc. Do you seriously doubt the veracity of his rank?

Withdraw nomination - Notability now established. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 15:33, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for saving us further trouble. Please be more careful next time and carry out WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
