[edit] Sheldon Levy

President of Ryerson University, but otherwise non-notable, and certainly not worthy of an article on Wikipedia. Delete -- Spinboy 16:27, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to Ryerson University and delete President of a notable university deserves mention, but only in the article of his university. He hasn't done enough of note to warrant his own article, at least based on the information in this. --Blackcap | talk 17:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I've recently learnt that if a merge happens, then the original article has to be kept as a redirect to follow the GFDL, so I'm striking out that bit to make my vote sensical. --Blackcap | talk 16:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above; keep a redirect, keep edit history in RU article to meet GFDL. Barno 18:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Per BDA's comment below, Mr. Levy is on a few boards and has held a few college administration positions. I'm not convinced any of these (or all in combination) make him notable enough for a bio. Barno 19:48, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, expand. University presidents are inherently notable, and this guy seems to have a lot going on that has nothing to do with his University. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It looked the first time like a copyvio, so it needs a serious rewrite or it may be listed there. -- Spinboy 19:22, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge not worthy of an individual entry. Dottore So 19:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as per BD2412, this figure appears to be notable outside of his presidency. Hall Monitor 19:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as per Hall Monitor. Vizjim 20:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. According to [1] he was previously VP at UOIT and president of Sheridan College, so he has notability outside of Ryerson. -- Corvus 01:56, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:06, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Are you the sockpuppet of Info@ryerson.ca? -- Spinboy 05:28, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Why would you ever ask if such a well-known contributor as Yuckfoo is a sock puppet? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nicodemus75 (talk • contribs) 11:53, September 28, 2005.
