• Userfy. Vanity. -- RHaworth 16:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Very weak keep - The plagarism stuff looks like it could actually make him notable, and seems to have gotten him a moderate amount of news coverage, however the page is horribly, horribly written. Artw 16:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Userfy Vanity. No evidence of convinvincing notability Bwithh 16:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete reads like a (rather paltry) bibliography. --djrobgordon 17:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Looks to be non-notable. He is only a contributed paper to the plagiarism conference. The conference has gotten some international attention, but mostly for Edexcel using Turnitin (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2006-06-16T142540Z_01_ZWE634621_RTRUKOC_0_US-CRIME-EXAMS.xml&src=rss). My only hesitancy is that he is listed as a "University Teaching Fellow". What does this mean in UK colleges? Does it pass the "named professorship" or "notable honor"? Or, is it a generic teaching term? Ted 18:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

"University Teaching Fellow" usually means that the academic has been given an award/title/position as an exceptional teacher of students/or as a lecturer. Its used in the US too, and in fact may be an import into the UK. It's a minor award/title compared to awards/titles/professorships etc. which have to do with research Bwithh 15:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable and has been deleted once before already (on Jun 16) Nuttah68 07:14, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Given Bwithh's comment, and some searching on the university website, it looks like the award is a "fellowship" given to support research into teaching. A worthy fellowship, but it doesn't reach notability (WP:PROF) (#7, ...notable award or honor....).
