[edit] Thomas Kuster

Thomas Kuster (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article about a professor gives no reasons why he is notable but only his CV. Being a professor alone does not merit an article on Wikipedia File Éireann 20:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Sounds like your above average guy. That's just it. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 00:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I found two publications, one of which is a copy of his Ph.D. dissertation in the library of the college where he works. Someone with access to a university library could probably find some more material. Interestingly, his son Andrew Kuster already has a Wikipedia article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
 Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Daniel Olsen 03:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:PROF. Also, this guy's wife, son and daughter-in-law all have articles:Judith Kuster, Andrew Kuster, Kristin Kuster. Appears to be some family-promotion going on here. I think that all these articles except possibly Kristin's are likely AFD candidates. Bwithh 04:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. As per above. Also has never been mentioned in a major newspaper, even a local one, ever (NewsBank). -newkai t-c 05:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, and have a look at the family articles. Robertissimo 08:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not remotely notable as an academic. the other family members should go as well, except for Kristin who seems like a keep to me. Derex 10:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
