[edit] Robert Todd Carroll

Robert Todd Carroll (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Is he notable enough for his own article? Skeptic's Dictionary already exists and is a notable website, but beyond that he seems to be an ordinary college professor (at a city college) with nothing else to assert notability. metaspheres 10:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. He is: the primary subject of an article in the Davis Enterprise, the daily newspaper of Davis, California,[1] podcast interviewed by Skeptic (magazine), a very notable third party source independent of Carroll,[2] interviewed by the New England Skeptical Society, also independent of Carroll,[3] published on inquiringminds.org, a website run by CSICOP,[4] published on mukto-mona.com, a Bengali humanist site that is quite independent of Carroll,[5] interviewed by Greg Tingle, an independent journalist in Australia,[6] and, (just for fun, not that this weighs much) you can purchase a term paper that cites him.[7] I stopped looking after all this because it's pretty clear that Wikipedia:Notability is established. I'll go add these links to the article now. — coelacan talk — 11:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
