[edit] Ronald Svarney

I am doubting the notability of this person. Google only finds two pages, one a "letters to the editor" page, the other a local church members birthday list. As for the references given: The first two only seems to concern a teacher he had at university, not himself (and being "in a direct student-teacher line back" to J. S. Bach doesn't establish notability, I think I could claim that too). The 2006 publication is marked as "under review"; for the 1995 book there is no ISBN and it can't be found at Amazon.com. The 1990 article in the New York Times quoted to support the statement "Svarney developed the field of behavioral facilitation..." is really just a letter to the editor - the abstract on the NYT web site starts To the Editor: As a student of psychology in a world of lawyers, I am sometimes puzzled by a legal mind's description of reality. I do not understand why Robert H. Bork thinks that George Bush, in nominating Judge David H. Souter .... Also the claims that Svarney's work had a significant impact on president Clinton's trial and impeachment and on the aftermath of September 11th need to be substantiated by reliable third-party sources.

  • Delete none of the aspects are notable, and adding up 3 unnotable aspects (or any number or unnotable aspects) doesn't equal notability. DGG 18:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
