Weak Keep Dlyons493 Talk 09:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, "psychologist" is an assertion of notability, and he's used as a reference in another article. Kappa 09:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Our Ability grouping article lists him as a leading opponent of that practice. He holds a senior post at Johns Hopkins see [1]. However this article is barely a substub. Keep and expand seems to be the best course of events. Capitalistroadster 10:02, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Probably best to keep since, though his notability is certainly borderline, he doesn't seem to be a complete non-entity either [2]. However, the mere description "psychologist" is no more an "assertion of notability" (see comment above) than "bricklayer", "Marxist" or "Wikipedian"! Flapdragon 13:03, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment agree with Flapdragon on all counts. This article shows one of the problems with stubby articles that give no context within which notability can be estimated! Dlyons493 Talk 13:18, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as per Flapdragon, it is best to err on the side of inclusion on these borderline cases. Hall Monitor 18:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Although this is just a stub, following the link to his bio gives information that justifies his inclusion. -- DS1953 13:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
