Fails
WP:NPROF. Potentially notable though. Coverage is Slim Pickens. Been on the cat:nn list for five years. Refs never been updated. Full prof at major university. scope_creepTalk 22:24, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep: The subject has generated a couple of sources(1, 2, & 3) during the past 4 weeks or so due to an event (his joining the board of regents of the Del Mar College). We know though that one event does not make a subject notable. AmshitBalcon (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - there was a small flurry (and I mean small) of coverage over his appointment (one of the above sources is quite brief, and another is a non-reliable source). Does not meet either ]

- Draftify. I think removal is probably too radical in this case. The article deserves its chance. Suitskvarts (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- There is not a draftify case. If there is references, put them so we can look at them per WP:THREE. Its had a notability tag for five years. Now's the time to determine if its notable. scope_creepTalk 15:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)]

- I know. I have the page reviewer permission. But this where we decided whether its notable or not per WP:V. Its a 14 years old article. scope_creepTalk 18:52, 28 March 2023 (UTC)]

- Delete he fails WP:NPROF very clearly which is where his main contribution will be but there isnt much notability there. A little bit of coverage saying he got appointed to a board is not what SIGCOV looks like. --hroest 20:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)]
- Delete. The closest he comes to WP:GNG either. -- asilvering (talk) 02:38, 29 March 2023 (UTC)]
