[edit] Joe Mashburn

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Substub. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 00:18, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. He is a notable person and nationally known in the architecture school world. UH Collegian
• Keep. Awful stub but he is the Dean of the University of Houston's Hines College of Architecture and has won awards for his design work. Seems notable to me. -
• Keep. Notable in the state of Texas. He's been the most pro-active architecture Dean in the state. He founded the ID program, and got the school a perfect NAAB score. Who say's he's not notable? 200 additional students each year know him by face and name. Maybe if he made news for running over his spouse in a Clear Lake hotel parking lot he'd be "notable", but he didn't. This is a limitless encyclopedia so keep him on here. - DS1953 00:37, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I fixed it a little. DS1953 00:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. He's not notable. Jacob1207 01:07, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• It's not a sub-stub now. Also, if we are allowing articles on every single state representative, then this person is definitely notable. Keep. --Barfooz (talk) 02:10, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 07:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non notable. --Edcolins 19:30, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Deans of accreditted colleges/universities meet my personal notablity criteria. --Scimitar 20:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. NeoJustin 20:13, June 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, it's not easy to become a dean of an accredited college/university. Kappa 20:43, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, perennially considered in the top 3 architecture schools in the U.S. according to the University of Houston article. So its Dean is clearly notable. Average Earthman 21:31, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Article should establish notability more clearly. A Dean of a leading school in its field is notable and our article should establish this. Capitalistroadster 23:58, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into the school article. When there are several entries, they can be split out to one article for all of the deans at the school. I don't like the logic that the school is noteable so the dean must be. Vegaswikian 05:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
