[edit] Robert Frager

Delete - putting article up for deletion as per request. Individual fails to meet WP:PROFTEST, article lacks verifable sources and needs citations. Article fails to meet WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY also. Strothra 01:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, unverifiable, nn. --Terence Ong 03:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, per WP:PROFTEST. A bit suspicious overall. Rockpocket ^-talk- 07:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom Ydam 11:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. DarthVader 12:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with cleanup and cites required. He has several books available through Amazon which supports notability. Paddles 13:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

The article is not attempting to establish his notability as an author but as a professor which he fails to meet. --Strothra 18:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Given that the article is a stub, and that it lists four publications (albeit without ISBNs etc.) I think it's a bit presumptuous to state that the article is attempting to establish notability only on a professorial basis, not as an author. The question is whether he is notable enough to keep, giving time for an editor to add cites and cleanup. Paddles 11:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above, just because someone wrote books doesn't mean they're notable. —Khoikhoi 04:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons given above. DVD+ R/W 04:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Paddles also claims to be founder of a graduate school, makes notable, clean up, and cite Crazynas 06:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 08:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Not notable Bwithh 22:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Author of many books, published by prominent imprints (Harper collins, Prentice Hall, Barron's). WP:PROFTEST is a red herring here - the fact that he is also a professor doesn't detract from being a noted author. Also "article lacks verifable sources and needs citations" is a reason to clean up an article NOT grounds for deletion. -- DS1953 ^talk 04:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Nothing here suggests that any of his publications are that well-known or significant. Being an author does not by itself make someone encyclopedicly notable. Zaxem 11:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
