[edit] Zeynep Ergun

The article does not make any claim to notability, other than her being a university professor, at the "Institute of Social Sciences English Language and Literature Department". Is that enough? Do we have a recommended or official policy on including all or some university professors? Aleph4 16:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

A partial answer to my question was given in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eric_Bittner: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Precedents#Education says Professors are notable if they have made significant contribution to one or more books (not just papers) (but also mentions that notability can be established in other ways). There is also some discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_inclusion_of_biographies/Academics. --Aleph4 10:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral This is a tough call, she's written many publications, I just want to know why they are all red links. If it is a Keep, then it needs to be cleaned up drastically. --D-Day 16:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Unsure. I agree with D-Day. I note all the pubs but the first are in Turkish. She seems like a clearcut case of notability in Turkey and in Turkish, not so much in the English-speaking world. I'm not sure how we handle such things in general. rodii 18:04, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • If she had an entry in the Turkish Wikipedia, we could leave the discussion about notability to Turkish-speaking Wikipedians, but as of now she doesn't, alas. --Aleph4 10:26, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I took the liberty of making the red links go away. Endomion 18:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Good going. rodii
• Keep She's has been Head of Department and is a full professor at a major university. Help counter systemic and gender bias. Dlyons493 Talk 18:58, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Clean up and keep. Wikipedia is not a resume service (I have just removed a "CV" heading from the article). The subject of the article is notable enough, but the article itself needs to be rewritten. B.Wind 21:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Prof. Zeynep Ergun is one of the best feminist scholars of Modern Turkey. The information about her should be more elaborated, however I am completely against the deletion of this page. Everyone visiting her page should learn something about her background. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.73.94 (talk • contribs)
