[edit] Talia Bettcher

This biography was written by the person's partner. It is, and reads like, a slightly altered copy of the person's CV. This philosopher may be notable enough to have a page - I don't know - but this is not the page. Anarchia 12:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. —Espresso Addict 14:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. There's so much irrelevant material in the article it's hard to navigate, but I don't believe Bettcher yet meets WP: PROF: only an associate professor, bare handful of peer-reviewed papers, books are both listed as 'forthcoming', no awards/honours. The fact that the page was written by the subject's partner doesn't help. Espresso Addict 14:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Does not seem to pass WP:PROF. Even if the article did pass, it would need drastic reduction — many sections e.g. teaching and service can just be deleted, and others are way too long and detailed. —David Eppstein 15:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete' Looks like the person's resume is on the page - Delete per lack of notability Corpx 15:27, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• delete per nom - also, WP:COI. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 15:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no obvious claim to academic notability. --Dhartung | Talk 17:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Please see the talk page for User_talk:Susanforrest, as it appears she created the page in January and it was speedy deleted for a direct copyvio of a website, and it appears it looks like the exact same thing. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 17:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for the reasons laid out by the first two voters. JamesAM 18:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for now The 2 books are to be published by a publisher previously unknown to me, but apparently a recognized specialist publisher. But as neither have been published yet, there are no reviews. There's one article in a good journal, 5 book chapters, and the rest are merely symposium presentations. But there is a remarkable amount of other activity, and some recognition for it--I can't judge that part. DGG (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep as it asserts notability and notes she has gotten some awards, certainly more than this professor. But this Autohagiography-cum-C.V. needs so much revision it will be painful. Bearian 01:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination, this assistance professor does not look to meet WP:BIO and the article reads much like a resume. Yamaguchi先生 04:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
