[edit] Chrisanthi Avgerou
Professor that doesn't fulfil the requirements of notability for academics Nyttend 17:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/staff/academicStaff.htm, she is the author of two texts published by the Oxford University Press which in itself suggests notability per WP:PROF. Also, a search of Google scholar shows some 141 results. Bigdaddy1981 18:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Not my area of expertise, but I'd be inclined to give this article the benefit of the doubt, at least for the time being: the LSE is one of Britain's leading universities, and and the bar to being called professor in the UK is significantly higher than in the US (see here) so I suspect it's more likely than not that she'd be regarded as a significant expert and/or an important figure.

Weak Delete per lack of significant coverage from independent sources and lack of info to pass WP:PROF. Corpx 02:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Keep Looks like I should've done a little more than a google news check for an academic. Corpx 03:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)- Keep When I see an article on someone who seems to be notable, but where there isn't enough information, I look for myself rather than !vote to delete. (or at least I use the information from those who have already commented). Turns out she has written or co-written not two but seven books, some of which look like widely used textbook--and one of which is a major reference work! I haven't checked the citation to the papers yet, but the books are sufficient for WP:PROF. It would be odd indeed for a department at LSE of all places to appoint someone as head whom is not very widely respected in the profession, which is the basis behind WP:PROF and WP:N in general.

- Comment Based on all those books DGG found, I'd like to withdraw the nomination. Nyttend 02:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
