This page is almost 20 years out of date. His LinkedIn page says he has been at California State University, Northridge for the last 17 years, for three of which he appears to have been worked with the New Mexico Education Department. Apart from his own LinkedIn page, I cannot find any reference to him online (other than that he teaches at CSUN and vague negative references to his time in New Mexico in https//thecandlepublishing.com/?s=pete+goldschmidt). I suggest would need independent confirmation of his notability or seniority or more detail about what happened in New Mexico in order to retain. Newhaven lad (talk) 18:33, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics). — Maile (talk) 20:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. He appears to be different from the Peter G. Goldschmidt who works in health information systems. Searching instead for author:pete-goldschmidt finds more, including five publications with triple-digit citations that appear to be by the subject. That might be enough for a weak pass of WP:PROF#C1, but if all we have to use is a one-line entry in the CSUN catalog [1] that's a pretty minimal level of content and sourcing even for a stub. I did find some newspaper stories mentioning "former Public Education Department assistant secretary Pete Goldschmidt" testifying in some New Mexico school legal case, but without any depth of coverage nor even enough information to verify that it is the same Pete Goldschmidt. In any case assistant secretary to the state education department is not going to pass WP:NPOL. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per David Eppstein though I'm dropping the "weak" part, being just a bit more of a hardliner. Drmies (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails GNG per David Eppstein. Carrite (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
