[edit] Harry Binswanger

There is nothing notable in this entry. Binswanger is an editor and compiles information; certainly not notable enough for Wikipedia. --Jason Gastrich 04:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete. Per nom. --Jason Gastrich 04:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable objectivist as Mr Berliner above, and I don't believe Jason Gastrich should be encouraged to nominate every atheist he can think of to make a point about the multiple noms of religious figures yesterday. Ruby 04:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Bad faith nomination to make a point -- very distasteful. Crunch 04:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete There are obvious WP:POINT issues here but let's try to deal with each article on its own merits. In this case, under 400 Ghits and writings look to be in somewhat partisan places. Dlyons493 Talk 04:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominator severely underrepresents the work and skill involved in editing a philosophical reference work, and omits the fact that Binswanger has also published his own work. Connections with Nagel and Rand and his position with the Ayn Rand Institute are sufficient to put him above the "average college professor". - AdelaMae ^{(talk - contribs)} 04:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ruby and AdelaMae. -- Dragonfiend 05:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• "Strong Keep" He is one of the most important people in the Objectivist movement. LaszloWalrus 05:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If we delete this one, we might as well delete Ayn Rand as well. Silly Afd, this is. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 05:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I'm sure the nominator would be find with deleting Ayn Rand. He's trying to delete every atheist he can find. Mark K. Bilbo 06:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Sounds like a noteworthy member for this philosophy.--T. Anthony 07:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, notable enough. Grandmasterka 10:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep seems notable enough. --Bduke 11:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - with 50k google hits and low amazon.com sales ranks (about 1 book sale per week per book, according to my understanding) this person seems to me to be borderline. --Pierremenard 13:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:POINT and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jason Gastrich Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 14:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy merge with Ayn Rand Institute. Bad faith nomination. --FloNight 16:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable --kingboyk 18:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - WP:POINT. Latinus 18:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --NaconKantari (話)|(郵便) 18:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, bad faith nom, WP:POINT. MCB 22:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep vindictive nom by Gastrich of a notable person.Blnguyen 23:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep as blatant violation of WP:POINT. Also, the nominator of this article has a currently ongoing RFC and his motives are clearly suspect. Cyde Weys 23:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Jason decided to make this us vs. them, and I choose them. --StuffOfInterest 01:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Notable scholar from good schools. Arbustoo 01:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable scholar and Ayn Rand is very notable. Harvestdancer 02:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, published author, relatively high up in the ARI cult. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 04:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
