"Austrian economists have... praised him as one of their more knowledgeable and interesting critics." Can this be supported with references? Mattley 23:16, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Needs more content. Try creating a published works section to flesh this out, as well as any awards and accomplishments, history etc. Otherwise looks much like a vanity page--Tznkai 03:36, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
I added significant content to this page and removed the stub tag. I think the issues raised here have been cleared up. Tyrannicide 18:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Second Deletion nomination
I say this article goes up for deletion again. This guy just hasn't contributed anything significant to his field, and is insignificant. After reading this article, it reads as if it were written in the third person by the first person, by that i mean, if reads like Byran wrote it himself, not that that is criteria for deletion, it just includes insignificant facts like where he blogs and so forth. Anyways, ill give it a couple days before i tag it again.--Gephart 05:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. I find no insignificant facts on the page nor is he an insignificant player in the economics field. The reason why the article might sound like it's written as you say it is could be explained by the possibility that the author used Caplan's intellectual autobiography as a source. Also, similar concerns about the article were listed last time this went up for deletion. I don't see why we are having the same conversation again.--David Youngberg 16:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I do find it a bit odd that a person that has a website and writes in a blog should be included. I don't think he's that notable outside his closest friends and supporters. // Liftarn
His book has been reviewed in The Economist ("Vote for Me, Dimwit", 14 June 2007), The New Yorker ("Fractured Franchise", Louis Menand, 9 July 2007), The Wall Street Journal ("Casting a ballot with a certain cast of mind", Daniel Casse, 10 July 2007), The New York Times ("The voters speak: Baa!", Nicholas Kristof, 30 July 2007). The New Yorker piece was featured in Arts and Letters Daily. His article in the Economic Journal has been cited more than 50 times according to Google Scholar. Liftarn, Gephart, is that enough for you?
- You guys have got to be kidding me. His essays have been included in Cato Institute publications and he has written articles for Reason Magazine. His book was reviewed by The Economist. He turns up 225,000 hits on Google. He research has been in the American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, Social Science Quarterly as well as the Economics journal put out by the Mises Institute. This guy is WAY MORE than notable enough for a Wikipedia article.--Jayson Virissimo 05:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
Can we get citations in here for some of the statements of fact please? This is a very poorly written acrticle, and while I think the guy is notable enough to keep, this needs a lot of cleanup. Ikilled007 16:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thomas Carl Rustici
What exactly makes this guy more notable than Thomas Carl Rustici? 129.174.78.220 (talk) 14:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
