[edit] Arthur Schafer
BLP subject is notable (barely) for a single opinion piece that he wrote about another BLP subject. He was in support of the Ashley Treatment, and this generated domestic scorn in Canada. That's it. Per BLP we ought to delete this. He may have other (not documented to our standards) things he has done, but he is known primarily for that one action of writing a newspaper column, which is 50% of his stub article.

- Keep based upon the CV [1] and Google Scholar [2] he has written a good deal more than that. Yet another incompetently writtten academic bio which concentrates on a single point and doesnt try to show the actual notability. Its good to at least look at the article links.

- Keep - based on Find sources: Arthur Schafer — news, books, scholar there appears to be significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Addhoc (talk) 14:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
