Nick Bostrom

This guy's a postdoc with a website? Big deal. Not notable. Director of WTA? Gimme a break. How many ppl assign themselves as directors of their own societies? To my understanding, the WTA that he "directs" doesn't even have over 100 members. Sorry, but I don't see any reason for having this page unless you want to start having vanity pages for anyone with a website and who assigns themself as "director" of their own small "association".

  • I dunno. He seems kind of blah, ut he's a "philosopher at Oxford" which might just be notable enough for inclusion. I'll abstain for now. blankfaze | •�• 21:12, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep (on procedural grounds). This survived VfD nine days ago. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:32, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is another revenge posting from the wording and the grouping - Tεxτurε 04:40, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Looks like it makes the cut, if not necessarily by much. Keep. -- Jmabel 07:06, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - gives lots of talks and responds to media queries on transhumanism, especially on bioethics. -- EuroTom 11:15, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
If it was listed 9 days ago and has already been listed again, then I'd suggest transferring this VfD discussion to the talk page at the end of voting. -- EuroTom 11:19, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)


At Victoria University readings by Nick Bostrom are used in Philosophy courses. Deletion should never have been an issue.
