The result was delete. Joyce Mercer only; DGG has suggested some possible claims to notability for others, and in any case multiple AfDs tend to be confusing to judge consensus anyhow, so we'd rather you didn't :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 13:48, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joyce Mercer[edit]

Appears to fail WP:PROF. Has been prodded twice; both times the creator has deleted the prod, claiming notability of the subject. The creator has been creating numerous articles about faculty at the Virginia Theological Seminary. User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 22:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep some , probably best done as Keep all, and consider the weaker ones separately. Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest of the Episcopal seminaries in the US,established since 1818 and offering a doctorate as well as the basic Master's in the field.

Markham is President of the school and thus meets WP:PROF. He's also published 7 major books

Cook holds a named chair, and is the author of 8 books, including a choice outstanding book. Meets WP:PROF.

Pritchard holds a named chair and is author of 5 or 6 books

Roberts may be notable as a musician.

Sedgwick also holds a named chair and published a half-dozen books

the others are in my opinion probably not notable, but I'm just going by the articles and their posted CVs without checking citations & non-academic notability. DGG (talk) 01:29, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and split some out, then. Roberts included; I'm not convinced of his notability, but I'm sure I can be persuaded... --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 02:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And here they are:

To keep things straight, I gather that you are withdrawing the AfDs on Ian Markham, Stephen Lloyd Cook , The Rev. Dr. Robert Prichard and Timothy F. Sedgwick, so this is now the AfD for Joyce Mercer alone, with the others moved individually to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2009 February 11.

Right - I thought it best to do it that way. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 05:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The main nominee seems to not meet WP:PROF. Assuming everything in the article is true still makes her sound like a typical acedemic. So delete Joyce Mercer. Neutral about any others, as there are too many to check in one nom.Yobmod (talk) 13:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No independent sources that indicate she meets WP:PROF. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
