Arnold Perey

[edit]

Vanity. Created by its subject, Arnold Perey. Userfy or delete. Jonathunder 14:47, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

  • Userfy Wikibofh 14:52, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep published anthropologist. The article is NPOV enough to be kept. --Scimitar 15:42, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Just about anybody with a Ph.D. has a few publications. It's tough to get out of grad school these days without a few articles under one's belt. I had two by graduation day in addition to my dissertation. Having/not having publications shouldn't be the only criterion for academic notability, otherwise most Ph.D.s would merit their own page. That said, I don't know enought about this particular field to assess the notability of Arnold Perey. Tobycat 04:57, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment; Perey appears to be more significant as a leader of the Aesthetic Realism movement than as an academic scholar in the field of anthropology. -Willmcw 05:25, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's already on user:Arnold Perey. Clear vanity. CDThieme 19:32, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. No Account
  • Keep, notable enough. I mean, if some guy who ended up 4th in local elections gets kept, this article should be kept too.  Grue  12:39, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't establish that the subject passes the average professor test. Does not actually appear in those Who's Who books, at least according to the Marquis Who's Who database I searched which includes 20 different Who's Who publications. Gamaliel 15:42, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I screwed up and typed the name in wrong. My apologies. He's in there. The obvious vanity aspect still motivates me to vote weak delete, however. Gamaliel 16:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Vanity article - IMHO, active contributors on Wikipedia should be clearly encyclopedic, any borderline ones shoudl be out. Trödel|talk 20:03, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, adequately NPOV, verifiable and significant. Kappa 21:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep NPOV, he's done new work, it is verifiable and should be included. [( User: Nildawn )]
    I hate to point this out since I had this done to me when I was new and voted on VfD (and I really thought it was totally unfair - but now I see the wisdom of it) - but this person had only two edits prior to this vote and both were related to the subject above on the Aesthetic Realism page here & here.
  • Keep. Needs a little de-vanitizing (no "Dr." Perey), but is nowhere nearly as bad as most vanity articles. Notability is admittedly borderline but I see the academic work plus significant role in Aesthetic Realism. JamesMLane 21:09, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy: to quote Talk:Arnold Perey: "This is my talk page." - Nunh-huh 00:35, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy. Neither his academic career nor his role at the very small Aesthetic Realism Foundation seem sufficient. -Willmcw 00:49, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
