[edit] Drew Hyland

There's no evidence that he's notable. Having an endowed chair doesn't equal notability. Bcrowell 02:28, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, seems a lot more notable than Cyrus Farivar. Kappa 02:42, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

• A very clear keep. He has published six books, one of which has been reprinted twice (his The origins of philosophy, 1973, 1984 and 1998). Add some 50 articles[1] to that, possibly more by now. He doesn't have this endowed chair because he was born with it, but presumably because he earned it. Uppland 06:23, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep please this is a notable professor so why should we erase this that would not make any sense Yuckfoo 07:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I have no problem with this article. Alf ^melmac 08:51, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per all of the above. -- DS1953 19:37, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, per above. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as per WP:Bio as notable/author and philosopher. The guidelines suggest that "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more

" are legitimate subjects of articles. Given that one of his books has had several reprints. Hyland would appear to meet this criteria. Capitalistroadster 07:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable scholar.--Nicodemus75 10:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - serviceable stub. An endowed chair at a prestigious school (Trinity is close enough) probably is sufficient evidence of notability on its own, since you can't get one without having a fair amount of influence in your field. Chick Bowen 18:56, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
