[edit] Juliet Schor
Not-notable enough, the page also has irrelevant comments such as "Her favourite student is.." which all add up to suggest that the page has either been written by her or someone who knows her well. The fact her books are listed as well as external links, but no references in the text suggest it is not reliably written. Having authored books and teaching at harvard doesn't jusitfy inclusion in the wiki. Although she has won an award, the award is also not-noteable. Overall the article reads like a self-written biography which is against policy, combined with the lack of noteability suggests to me this should be deleted.> WikipedianProlific(Talk) 10:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Most of her writing sounds a bit dull but i'd definitely read 'She has a snuke in her sniz?' in paperback. Nick mallory 10:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. The "favourite student" bit was vandalism by an anonymous user; regrettably, so was "She has a snuke in her sniz?". I've removed both. The article could do to be expanded but the real question is one of whether or not she meets WP:PROF, which I think she does. BTLizard 11:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - She's definitely a published author, and not an insignificant one; she's listed in a number of articles on the subject, and her work has been cited by Congress. I think the question is the degree of academic publication required to be notable. I leave that question to others. LH 16:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Full professors and research universities are almost always notable, and the books show it. DGG 05:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable academic whose work has been discussed in the popular press. JamesMLane t c 11:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)```
- Keep Notable academic who would also likely qualify for notability as an author. definitely notable, a leader in her area --Buridan 17:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
