[edit] Antony Melck

Article talks about a career academic who was on a number of committees, but does not address WP:BIO, I think. ben 11:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Doesn't have any claims to notability, it is also a vanity article. --Porqin 12:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Vice Chancellor and Principal of University of South Africa (Unisa) [1]. Needs editing though. Dlyons493 Talk 12:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as above, although he is the former Vice Chancellor[2], but still notable enough. --BrownHairedGirl 12:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as failing WP:BIO for lacking multiple non-trivial articles by third parties - he's quoted in a few papers but nothing is written about him per se; only 94 distinct Ghits for "antony melck". He's co-authored a book, but this does not automatically lend to notability, and there's nothing I can find to show the book itself meets notability for WP:BK, i.e., adopted as a textbook, adapted for a major motion picture, etc. That he was a vice chancellor and principal of Univeristy of South Africa unfortunately are not factors to meeting WP guidelines and policies.

• Comment - also, original writer is Amelck, so the article appears to be vanity. Tychocat 21:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Notability is not really established, and it is unverifiable. And vanity. --Aguerriero (talk) 04:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Former head of a significant university. An encyclopedicly notable individual. Zaxem 09:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
