The result was keep. Closing a little early. No consensus to delete and the nominator has been blocked as a sock puppet of someone who targets articles created by RAN. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 20:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being dean of liberal arts, and later dean of the faculty, at City College of New York tends to indicate notability under WP:PROF. Brownson's translations of Xenophon's Hellenica and Anabasis were published by the Loeb Classical Library and remain in print from Harvard University Press more than 60 years after his death. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:00, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not appear from the text of the article to meet the standards of wp:prof nor is his work being claimed to be indepedantly notable as the subject of reliable sources. Ngaskill (talk) 08:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; of course, as the creator, the obit in the New York Times is a generally accepted marker for notability. And it also meets the WP:Prof standard as: "The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution or major academic society." Dean of the college is that academic post. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The case via WP:PROF is a bit unclear, partly because WP:PROF is aimed more at recent academia than that of 100 years ago. But the three NYT pieces are enough to convince me of a pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and ban nominator for deletion to hell.--Milowent (talk) 04:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
