- Do Not Delete I wrote the article so obviously I think it should stay. He is a notable author and a notable researcher. Moreover, his techiniques for treating Anxiety Disorders are unique and innovative. It is not a "vanity" page. Unkle25 (talk) 23:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I can appreciate that as the author of the article you want it to stay, but notability must be established, not just asserted. Please see the general guidelines for notability (WP:Notability (people)) as well as those specific to academics (Wikipedia:Notability (academics)) for what is considered notable on Wikipedia.
