[edit] Aviva Chomsky

Being a relative of someone notable does not make them notable. Delete. --Daniel Lawrence 23:06, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep — Seems more notable than an article on minor Star Wars characters. Professor with published books and papers to her credit. :) — RJH 02:38, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - published author. Pburka 04:07, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Has written one award-winning book and co-edited two others (that I can find). Probably some articles as well. Professor at a (as far as I can judge, and I may be unfair) relatively obscure American college. Borderline as far as academics go, but nevertheless more significant and notable than most of the professional baseball players considered worthy of Wikipedia articles. Weak keep.

• Delete not a notable professor. Publishing a book is just part of her job; many, if not most, history professors will get a book publication from a cleaned up version of their doctoral dissertation. CDC (talk) 20:42, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, seems to have made a notable contribution to the study of early US involvement in Costa Rica. Kappa 21:43, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep award-winning author. Good to see that someone in that family has actually earned their recognition. Gazpacho 03:39, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable author even though she hasn't worked as hard to earn her recognition as other members of her family. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 19:22, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Eminently notable. —Seselwa 20:58, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Appears in the Directory of American Scholars, the Gale Contemporary Authors series, and the St. James Writers Directory. Gamaliel 21:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
