[edit] Keith Michael Fiels

Delete. Person is not notable enough to merit an entry. Satch 21:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep In the librarian profession, he's quite notable, being the director of the largest library association in the world. As far as WP:BIO goes, he's co-authored six books which I think meet the author guidelines. I'm aware that WP:BIO doesn't do much to address people who are notable in their field and unknown out of it, but probably every librarian in the US knows this guy.

  • Keep He is a notable person in his profession and the claims to notability are easily verifiable. Evillan 21:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jessamyn. Monicasdude 22:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the author and I went to the criteria for inclusion [1]. Here are the criteria that Mr. Fiels meets:
  1. Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature. [While he is not strictly political, it is a national/international organization which he runs.]
  2. Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more [He has written six books for the profession, and regularly writes for American Libraries which has a circulation of over 70,000 monthly.]
  3. 100 year test (future speculation) -- In 100 years time will anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful?
  4. 100 year test (past speculation) -- If we had comparable verifiable information on a person from 100 years ago, would anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful today?
