I put a hangon tag on this article.

1. A quick Google search on:

     "Dan Sperber" -jazz -guitar -album

turns up 129,000 hits. The top hits I looked at were all for this guy.

2. There are existing Wikipedia articles that have been around for a while that mention this guy:

• Relevance
• List of publications on evolution and human behavior
• Meaning (linguistics)
• Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman/Evidence (cited as a published author during some sort of POV dispute)
• Pragmatics
• Manès Sperber
• Sperber
• User:Charles Matthews/Pavel
• User:Charles Matthews/Carrithers
• Relevance theory

3. These pages were already redline linked to this article:

• Pragmatics
• Manès Sperber
• Sperber
• User:Charles Matthews/Pavel
• User:Charles Matthews/Carrithers
• Relevance theory

2 are just user pages with lists of names and another is a surname page. Still, that leaves 3 other substantive pages.

This article needs to be expanded by its creator, not deleted.

PS I left a note on the article creator's talk page about the article's excessive brevity and the importance of notability. --A. B. 07:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
