[edit] Glyn Davis
Subject does not pass WP:BIO & WP:PROF There are no published secondary sources, They have not demonstrable wide name recognition or received significant recognized awards or honors. ExtraDry 10:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Extra Dry, you do not appear to have done much research into this nomination. Google News shows 34 references [1] and Google News Archive has over 500 including [2] and this. Strong keep if not speedy keep. Capitalistroadster 11:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This mans achievements are overwhelming. A Google Australia search provided 19,300 results, most of which (from what I can tell) are about him. Have added some references. This article just needs some work, not deleting.Loopla 11:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

- Strong Keep as above. Recurring dreams 11:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep as above. Nominator, did you even bother to do any research whatsoever on this person before taking this to AfD? Lankiveil 11:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC).
- Strong Keep as above. This is just amazing. Do we have a lot of disgruntled students who can not understand how senior academics are notable. Lack of sources for an article that is clearly notable needs work, not deletion; and not work done by holding a gun to our heads. Comment on the appropriate project pages for example. --Bduke 12:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: Somehow, I am not surprised. Yes, this is a pile-on, but it deserves to be. Can some kindly admin invoke WP:SNOW here? Beyond that, this isn't the first AfD of an Australian university vice-chancellor nom has made, and good faith is increasingly shaky. RGTraynor 13:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: This article needs sourcing not deleting. if it's any help to people out there I hear that he own a rare pokemon card - which generally demonstrated notability on wikipedia. --Fredrick day 13:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- SNOWBALL Nothing else that needs to be said on this one. Thewinchester (talk) 13:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
