This is an autobiography by Psydoc47 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). That user is also known as Dr. David Greenfield <psydoc47 at gmail dot com>.

Dr. Greenfield is a US-based clinical psychologist who specializes in treating Internet addiction. You can view his resume elsewhere, in PDF or HTML formats.

It was a mistake for Dr. Greenfield to put an autobiographical article on Wikipedia. But let's consider our options now. We have two choices:

  1. Keep and cleanup.
  2. Delete.

I was unable to tell whether or not Dr. Greenfield meets Wikipedia's inclusion criteria in the first place. Does he? If so, we should keep the article and clean it up. (We could trim it down to a stub, to make the job easier.) If not, we should delete the article.

  • Delete based on the CV. Fails WP:PROF--almost no peer-reviewed publications. No major awards; no national offices. No evidence of meeting NAUTHOR: almost all the "publications" listed here are mere presentations and mostly local meetings. No evidence of meeting GNG, & no reason to expect any. I might consider deleting this as G11 speedy, advertising. DGG ( talk ) 05:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete no evidence of meeting the general notability guideline, or any subject specific guidelines.--kelapstick(bainuu) 13:34, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Weak delete per DGG. I note that he's had some presentations and panels at national conferences, but still fails the PROF test. Presenting at national conferences is a bare minimum for academics. Bearian (talk) 20:08, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
