[edit] Tom Novak

Tom Novak (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Probable COI creator (Tpnovak (talk · contribs)); "Tom Novak" has 3,110 ghits, I don't do too much with bio AfDs, so not sure what people think of 3k+ ghits; does not appear to be notable, only reason for inclusion would be the published works?

• Delete, what a dreadful photograph. There definitely needs to be some references to support the article's claim that Mr Novak has worked at virtually every significant university in North America. Unfortunately, Google is relatively quiet on the matter, and even his own CV shows this his roles at Vanderblit have been relatively minor. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he doesn't meet WP:PROF. Lankiveil (talk) 06:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC).

• Keep "not sourced" isn't valid for deletion anyway. I found http://www.newsroom.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/display.cgi?id=1286 and http://www.internetretailer.com/internet/marketing-conference/92844-retail-romance.html in the first page of googling. The topic may seem a bit obscure, but there are plenty of edu and others writing about him. Pharmboy (talk) 16:05, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep — for the reasons given by Pharmboy. GreenGourd (talk) 18:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Pharmboy. Sunderland06  12:53, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Has only about 20 publications in Web of Science, but those got a total of over 1000 citatons in other scientific publications and the most-cited articles got 379, 165, and 152 citations. Could somebody get rid of that horrible photo?? Aryticle definitely could be improved upon.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crusio (talk • contribs) 13:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
