Notability, self-promotional material Tumbleweedtumbles 17:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete. The article is a (now modified) auto-biography. A search on Sedat Laciner on some of the main ressources for social science: Jstor, containing more than 143.000 journal issues; ProQuest more than 6.000 periodicals, and SAGE Publications/CSA Illumina with +1,200 resources gives 0 hit, neither as author nor as reference! Not having published anything or being used as reference in any respected journal nulifies IMHO any claim of notability. Please also see WP:AUTO, the combination of lack of notability and being an autobiography effectively makes the article unverifiable. Bertilvidet 17:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. I know that Wikipedia:Notability (academics) is just a proposal, but it seems like a useful breakdown of the problem here- professors are expected to publish, but just publishing doesn't make a professor notable unless the books have received significant critical attention, which I don't see evidence of here. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment. He is even not a professor, but an associate professor. Bertilvidet 18:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. he is not notable in the language he writes, no SSCI indexed contribution, no reference given to him in the academic databases, Clearly a vanity-seeker more than an academic.cs 10:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The user is a suspected sock puppet of User:Slaciner, and the above comment should thus be seen as sarcastic. Bertilvidet 00:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Per above. Mr.K. (talk) 22:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep; meets WP:BIO. He is more than merely an academic. John Vandenberg 21:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
