[edit] Mark Berger

Mark Berger (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Is this professor notable enough? I don't think so. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 18:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep - numerous publications listed in the article (although I think the list itself is probably unnecessary) and director of a center of some sort at a major university (which may or may not be notable). Geoffrey Spear 18:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • While the subject meets WP:PROF, this appears to be a resume, and Wikipedia is not a resume service. The article could also appear to some as a memorial, something else that Wikipedia is not. The late Mark Berger is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, but this is not a Wikipedia article. Scrape clean and start anew. B.Wind 00:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Meets WP:PROF. Just because it looks like a resumé means the article needs to be cleaned, not deleted. --Oakshade 04:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm sure he was an able academic, however his works have not had a lasting impact on the field, as shown by the lack of links to this article from the articles discussing his field of expertise. I'm not saying he didn't contribute, like Nlu I'm saying he's of insufficient notability to merit an encyclopedia article. DrKiernan 12:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT. This appears to be primarily a memorial, violating "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." Iceberg3k 20:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
