Non-notable college president. None of the "references" amount to the significant coverage required to demonstrate notability per WP:BIO. ukexpat (talk) 13:18, 13 May 2014 (UTC) WITHDRAWN--ukexpat (talk) 16:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

• http://www.crainsnewyork.com/gallery/20131013/FEATURES/101009999/7 this source is good, but it's not included in the article.--77788er (talk) 14:17, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

DeletePage has previously been deleted and was created by a currently banned user. ALthough he is a college president, the article doesn't provide any evidence for him being notable enough to be included on wikipedia ThatBrownLady 14:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThatBrownLady (talk • contribs)

• Keep Although the article has been a battleground for unknown reasons, this person meets WP:ACADEMIC and the article should be improved through the normal editing process. Deletion means victory for trolls. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
• Keep This person, as noted, meets WP:ACADEMIC as head of a large university. This AFD appears to have been created by sockpuppets. The claim that the article itself was created by a banned user appears to be nonsense.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert McClenon (talk • contribs)

• I most definitely am not a sockpuppet and I resent the characterisation. Did you even bother to check my contribution history? At least I sign my messages.--ukexpat (talk) 16:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
• Actually, the fact the article has been created by a banned user is now confirmed - see below. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

• Keep black letter notability: "Criterion 6 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has held the post of President or Chancellor (or Vice-Chancellor in countries where this is the top academic post) of a significant accredited college or university...", per WP:ACADEMIC.

• Keep I understand the impulse to enforce a ban, but, on the other hand, this article now has two sections, six cites, and several content creators. The article is now a valid contribution to Wikipedia. And it will grow once the drive-by taggers move on. What do you want to happen, delete this article, and have an identical article replace it immediately after? I'm ok with that, but it seems a somewhat mechanical way to handle the troublemaking of a banned user, and not a pretty thing to see. I have no interest in the subject area, just a desire to see a desirable article for Wikipedia not be disrupted into deletion. - Neonorange (talk) 00:04, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
• Keep A banned user might have created the article, but the subject of the article is notable and there should be an article on him. --NellieBly (talk) 00:14, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
