non-notable academic Ling.Nut 04:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - not notable by WP:ACD (I know it's only a proposal, but still). Needs more references. Black-Velvet 09:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. As a former department chairman at the University of Michigan he would seem to be more notable than the average professor. --Metropolitan90 09:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As Metropolitan90 points out, more notable than average and therefore notable enough. --Falcorian ^(talk) 19:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment More notable than average is notable enough? Every former dept. chair of every university gets a Wikipedia page? I despair for the universe. Truly, I do. --Ling.Nut 20:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• keep Per [1] he arguably meets criterion 2 in WP:PROF. JoshuaZ 01:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Can you explain further? I see where a former Secretary of HHS thinks Zald is a nice guy; I'm not seeing notability based on respect in his field.--Ling.Nut 02:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Hosting a conference in his honor is a substantial recognition of his influence/importance in the field. JoshuaZ 07:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Former department chair at Vanderbilt and UofM, plus the link provided by JoshuaZ makes it clear that he's notable enough. Unfocused 07:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
