[edit] Notability

Full professors at major research universities who have published books are certainly notable. Art. just needs some refs.DGG 19:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Not necessarily according to Wikipedia:Notability (academics). I'll give it some time for proof of notability and the references to be brought, otherwise it may have to survive an AfD. -- Avi 19:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Khoury has been the President of the Middle East Studies Association (MESA). As such (+ his books, which are used as reference at several WP articles) he is certainly notable. Regards, Huldra 17:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

In general, you should put an {{editprotected}} tag on the talk page when you wish to have edits made to a protected page. It flags it for admins. The categories have been added. -- Avi 17:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you Avi (both for your edit and the inf.) Regards, Huldra 18:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
