Notability not asserted, almost all edits suffer from a conflict of interest. Yamla 15:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - The only information I was able to find was his biographical information written by the law firm he currently works for. Non-notable. Shoessss |  Chat  16:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. —David Eppstein 15:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Per Shoessss, there seem to be no independent sources that would allow him to pass WP:PROF or any more general notability standard. The article suffers from extreme reference abuse — e.g. it claims he was a Professor at the University of Cincinatti, but lists as its reference only the main page for that university, and I have been unable to find any page anywhere on that university's web site that documents this claim. (Incidentally, what it says in his vita is that the position was Assistant Professor, rather than Professor, and that it was in Mechanical Engineering.) —David Eppstein 15:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Notability has been asserted by the subject of the article. If you drill down one the included links the information in the article is confirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iplaws (talk • contribs)

• Comment Please explain which specific criteria under WP:PROF that you believe the article currently fulfils. That is, which of the six specific criteria, and which links currently in the article provide evidence of this? --Yamla 17:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Assistant Professor is correct. The year was 1969 and the current online information for the University of Cincinatti does not go back that far. Iplaws 17:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC). The subjest would not be regarded as an important figure in academia by independent academics for such a short teaching carreer. However in business and law this person's collective body of work is significant and well-known and this person has received notable awards and has been often nominated for them. His achievements are not all easily found via online searching. For example he is listed in current edition of Who's Who in the World 2007 and Who's Who in American Law, as well as many prior editions, but the listings are not posted online. He is also well know in the legal comunity and the Toy Industry for protecting and promoting the inventions of Howard J. Morrison, Ralph Bear and Marvin Glass and Associates, all of whom have listings in Wikipedia. Much of this is disclosed in Patent Office records in the U.S. Europe and Japan.

• Comment In that case, you are asserting notability under WP:BIO and should explain how you are notable under those criteria. Who's Who in the World 2007 and Who's Who in American Law are not sufficient as per WP:BIO and I can find nothing in the article that fits, but you may be able to make a case as per WP:BIO. --Yamla 17:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
