[edit] Professor Steven Krilis

Academic bio. Up for debate.

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite Seems clearly notable but the article needs a major rewrite. Dlyons493 Talk 19:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete First, non-notable. I think academics should have notability hurdles of the same type as others and Prof. Krilis does not seem to - only 61 unique Google hits for "Steven Krilis". Second, appears to be a vanity page: "Professor Krilis is at the forefront of medicine and medical research and is renowned world wide as one of the worlds greatest scientific minds." (spare me, please!) Madman 19:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, "Professor of Immunology Allergies and Infectious diseases at the University of New South Wales". Published academics should not have to clear more hurdles than professional hurdlers or other athletes, rather the reverse. Kappa 22:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Not sure I understand your point. Are you saying just because he's a professor, he is notable enough for inclusion?? There are hundreds of thousands of professors throughout the world, if not millions. Or just because he's a professor at UNSW?? Academics should have the same hurdles as just about anyone else, neither more nor less, and this guy doesn't clear them IMHO. Madman 14:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite just about notable, but needs wikifying and citations. --Pfafrich 23:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Move to Steven Krilis or something. The job title shouldn't be in the name. Cyde Weys _vote^talk 23:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Move per Cyde Weys; weak keep on the article but it needs to be wikified and cleaned up. Stifle 23:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- JJay 15:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
