[edit] S. L. Greitzer

This has been sitting around for many months without being expanded. The subject wrote a textbook. Is that sufficient?. I think not, but I'd reconsider if it was expanded.-gadfium 06:01, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Would be indeed nice to see it expended. It's a weak keep. Gtabary 16:11, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• I nominated this as a speedy, as it is nothing except the title of a book. Even if this could be expanded, I doubt it's worthy of inclusion. Delete. I still maintain it's speedy material. -R. fiend 21:50, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Samuel L. Greitzer gets quite a few hits on Google (for a mathematician) and in JSTOR and has authored or co-authored a few books in the LoC catalogue. He may well deserve an article at some point, but I don't feel passionately enough about it to research it properly and as there is no article to save in any case, it might as well be deleted. Somebody else can restart the article. (It will be a "keep" if somebody expands it in the next few days, of course.) / up+land 22:39, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete: not an article. I'm willing to reconsider if someone expands it. Wile E. Heresiarch 00:37, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, in need of definite expansion. Megan1967 02:02, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unless this were to contain a biography, a simple statement about a single book that the subject of the article co-authored is grounds for a delete. If this person were an actor or a musician, this article with its current content would (probably) be deleted. If someone knows more about Greitzer, they'd be more inclined to write a biography if this were a red link article instead of a substub. --Deathphoenix 18:32, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If they wrote a textbook, they must be pretty good at what they do. -GregNorc (talk) 01:16, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no significant publications in Math journals (a few commentaries on math competitions), one high school maths textbook does not meet the criteria for notability --nixie 01:22, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
