[edit] Christine McGladdery

Article makes claims of notability, but offers no citations. Google search doesn't seem to back up notability - most references are simply lists of the authors books or or trivial mentions - in my opinion, fails WP:BIO. MikeWazowski 02:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Does not appear to have made enough impact as an author to achieve notability. CitiCat 04:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, biography of James II is more worthy than many "author" pages created and retained on wikipedia and position at St Andrews University satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 07:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WP:WAX is not an excuse for keeping an insufficiently notable subject. Adrian M. H. 20:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. There are some big assertions of notability in the article - "leading historian" and "particularly important" - that aren't backed up by any sources and are more extravagent than her official bio at St. Andrews. That being said, my attempts at research suggests there may be some scholorly articles about McGladdery and/or her books, but these articles required paid or special access (e.g. Jstor). So, I would not be surprised if she could meet WP:PROF, but I can't prove it. Between the lack of evidence of notability and the fact that the article really doesn't have much content, I am going with a "weak delete" position at this point. However, I am more than open to being convinced otherwise.--Kubigula (talk) 04:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
