[edit] Nicholas J. Hopper

Non-notable professor. Article was nominated for deletion previously (see here), but the debate was largely about academics in general, and was moved to Wikipedia talk:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Academics and no consensus was reached. Nicholas Hopper is a promising young crypto researcher, and an assistant prof (not tenured) at UMN, and has about 10 technical papers of varying quality; the best has about 50 citations, which makes it a good paper, but not an especially important one. Not much more could be added to this article, apart from a CV-style list of papers. As nominator, I abstain; I'm relisting this because it didn't get consensus (or quality discussion) last time.

1. Delete. Until the notability criteria for academics are sorted out, I would consider there to be no policy on them; as such, I am following my own instinct, which says delete in this case. Batmanand | Talk 21:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Assistant professor, PhD two years ago. I find less than a dozen published papers. Doesn't appear that he's "more well known and more published than an average college professor." He looks more like he is an average college professor. Fan1967 00:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
