[edit] Michael Huemer

Associate professor; the article makes strong claims of notability which I'm unable to confirm. An ISI citation search puts his most-cited paper at 15 citations. Everything else is in the single digits. ~ trialsanderrors 20:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• delete however there are a ton of these almost but not quite notable in the category Objectivism scholars in wikipedia. this guy might be one of the more notable ones, but does not meat WP:PROF as best as i can tell. --Buridan 00:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep Associate professor at a major university, with numerous publications in scholarly journals, plus scholarly books. Seems adequate notablitity for a professor. If the artical gets deleted, I hope he remains philosophical about it and keeps editing Wikipedia. Edison 00:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no notable (WP:BIO) and created by subject (WP:COI). Cbrown1023 00:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as subject is borderline in terms of notability and his creation of the page seems to violate (WP:COI). --Giddytrace 04:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 07:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: a normal—i.e. non-notable—academic who's done some good work, but isn't a major name in his field. Sam Clark 10:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete appears to fail the professor test. Worthy, I'm sure, but I can't find enough reliable secondary sources to ensure neutrality in the article, which is especially necessary since the subject has been involved in writing it. Guy 13:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, it fails Wikipedia:Notability (academics) -- lucasbfr ^talk 21:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
