[edit] Jasper Rose

Was tagged for speedy deletion by User:CanadianCaesar in November 2005, but User:Philwelch untagged it. It was then re-tagged by User:Cernen. The article claims importance and given the earlier removal of the speedy tag, I'm bringing it to AfD instead. howcheng {chat} 23:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep He's still remembered as being involved in the founding of departments at Rice [2] and Santa Cruz [3]. Seems to have been Provost of Cowell College [4] Dlyons493 Talk 01:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment He's from a different era of Academia where publishing was less emphasised. Closing admin might also wish to note re CanadianCaesar that It is believed that this user may be a sockpuppet of User:LithuanianConstantine. - whether that's true or not I have no idea.

  • That is indeed a joke, I added the box (with admin approval) and there never has been a LithuanianConstantine (the box links to three unusual articles. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 01:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
