[edit] Sheila Jeffreys

Not Notable, Vanity, Fails every test in WP:BIO, Fails WP:PROF no awards, no significant academic contribution, not the originator of a new area in her field. Being a radical feminist does not in itself make one encyclopedic Kershner 05:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Sandstein 06:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• I am the author of this article. I disagree, because as you say, "being a radical feminist does not in itself make one encyclopedic", but she is a notable radical feminist. I would suggest you read say [1]. I hope that article (which is among others), would convince you that she is a notable radical feminist. I might suggest that if you do not think she is a notable radical feminist, is that maybe because you do not know that much about radical feminism? She is certainly notable within her field. --SarahEmma 06:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. She is the author of several published books, and is well respected within the academic community. The article has been expanded to show details about her books. See also http://www.politics.unimelb.edu.au/aboutus/jeffreys.html , which is cited in the article. TruthbringerToronto 06:15, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per bibliography, Guardian interview, etc. --MCB 06:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. I wouldn't say she's "well respected", but she's certainly "well known" (I find her analyses a bit silly, as much as I agree with other radical feminists; still I know these analyses because they're notable). She has a whole bunch of books from good publishers. LotLE×talk 06:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per LotLe. ~ trialsanderrors 07:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable as above. And Wikipedia already says she is a key thinker and prominent academic. --HJMG 08:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Per WP:HEY, should this article be expanded and properly cited to look like a professor or author's article and not so clearly POV, I would happily withdraw my nomination and change to Keep. Kershner 15:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep although multiple book publication or major newspaper interview is NOT evidence of notability in themselves. Cumulatively, possibly. Bwithh 17:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all of above. David L Rattigan 22:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Ditto. Beaner1 06:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Needs substantial additional sourcing and cleanup. Kickaha Ota 20:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
