[edit] Linda Trimble

Cleaning up the backlog of articles with unclear importance. This one has been tagged for 7 months. Seems to fail WP:BIO or WP:PROF but I don't feel particularly strongly about it. (Let's say my vote is weak delete) In any case, we might as well have a discussion rather than keeping the tag forever. Pascal.Tesson 02:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If no one seems to have cared enough to add to this, we shouldn't care about it. As it is, reads like a résumé. Daniel Case 03:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Five books (which I've added), one of which may be notable just for the length of the title Coming Soon to a Station Near You the Process and Impact of the Canadian Radio-Television and impact of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission's involvement in sex-role stereotyping (joke) Dlyons493 Talk 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete pity to lose that title, but one book authored and a thesis doesn't seem to meet WP:PROF. Dlyons493 Talk 14:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The Belinda Stronach article mentions her as someone who studied the fallout of her political defection. Seems to have a few scholarly publicationsas well --Xrblsnggt 03:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment No offense to Mrs Trimble but scholarly publications is what academics do. There does not seem to be an independent assertion of notability available for Prof Timble. Moreover she is not the author of 3 of the books listed but the editor! For those unfamiliar with the process, scholarly books are often collections of research papers on a given topic and the editors are the ones responsible for putting them together. Not that it's an easy job but it's way below authorship. I've removed them from the list on the article. THe last one with the notably long name is her PhD thesis.

• Delete. Non-notable academic. -- Necrothesp 22:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
