  • Strong delete. yandman 13:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems to be rather more notable than an average professor, at least according to here [1] (under Eminent Scholars/Finance) and also according to his biography [2]. Optimale Gu 16:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Basically, those links say that: (a) his school says he's notable, and (b) he says he's notable. Not quite the same thing as independent reliable sources. -- Fan-1967 16:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think either of these sites say Jay Ritter is notable, they just list stages of his academic life in a very ordinary (and reliable) way. It's up to the editors here to say for themselves if that information makes him notable (enough) for Wikipedia or not in their eyes.
  • Delete The publications and presentations seem appropriate, but not exceptional, for an academic of his level of seniority. The main other thing I notice from the CV is that he took longer than most to end up in a job that led to tenure. Fan-1967 19:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, more notable than the average professor (or professional athlete) so passes the professor test. Also Google likes him: [3]. Kappa 05:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - if this is your idea of notability, then hell, I should start an article on myself. WP:BIO surrenders. --Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 15:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — No assertion of notability - doesn't cite anything which proves that he is indeed "known" for his work on IPOs. Fails WP:BIO so far. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 00:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
