[edit] Will McWhinney

Delete: Fails notability test. Individual has seven notations in Lexis/Nexis, last one in 1996. Last major reference 1987, related to dealings in non-notable business venture (leaving the Charles Krone Leadership Institute due to differences over Krone's following of Gurdjeff's philosophy). Books are non-notable: Paths of Change at #375,792 and #702,120 (1992 edition) and Creating Paths of Change at #193,738. Also admin backstory, at WP:RFPP. If deleted, done so with prejudice to prevent re-creation. Calwatch 05:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep I think he squeaks notability. He's a professor emeritus at Fielding Graduate University and I think when you throw on the books, the business ventures, the low impact factor journal he created, and the speaking tour, it puts him above the balance on the professor test -- Samir ∙ T C 09:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • You know what guys, putting this through AfD on merits was not wise in my opinion. Take it to Jimbo or a higher power. I'm neutral. -- Samir ∙ T C 09:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep as encyclopedic material. Whatever the secret dispute is, AfD shouldn't be used to paper over a deletion with a spurious reason. Whatever else is going on should be handled elsewhere. Monicasdude 16:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
