Notability of subject not made clear and article is unreferenced. Largely edited by one editor, presumably the subject. Jsmithers09 (talk) 18:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)— Jsmithers09 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. }[reply]
- Strong keep - full professor at University of Durham,[1] the third oldest University in England. He has a comprehensive and prodigious publication history, and edits important journals in the field of cybercrimes. He clearly passes WP:PROF. WP:COI is not fatal.

- N.B.: Nominator's sole contribution is to nominate this BLP for deletion. Curious. Bearian (talk) 00:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't realise this being my first posting would be an issue. Subject is not notable - Google only brings up results from his positions at 2 Universities, pages on small time websites that he has written and listings for books he has published - but next to nothing in the way of reviews etc. Does every university professor warrant a Wikipedia entry?

- Keep - appears to meet guidelines of WP:PROF. Eddie.willers (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Not too many cites but probably reaches some of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]
