Delete was tagged for speedy deletion, which I declined as some people are convinced that all faculty of all universities are inherently notable. He is on faculty [1], but as far as I can find there is no significant coverage in reliable third party sources. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 15:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment There seem to be some Google scholar and Google books hits, but I'm having a hard time telling if this is the same person. For example, [2], [3]. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 15:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Strong Delete The formatting is horrendous, it is one or two lines long, and is completely unsourced. Also, the article makes absolutely zero assertions that this article is notable.Cssiitcic (talk) 17:33, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Week keep I fixed formatting, and added sources, categories and a stub notice.--Auric (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete Google Scholar finds only 2 articles, and a total of about 20 citations to them. (the searches above are pertinent, and there are a few more citations. There are not likely to be more than one person by that name working on Wittgenstein) This is enough to pass speedy, but not enough for notability. Though a first-rate college, Vassar is not a research university, and it is not likely that associate professors there would be notable.DGG (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete. Passes neither WP:PROF nor WP:BIO. The searches above do not establish notability. Additionally, I could not find enough evidence for notability on WorldCat or Google News; actually, I could not find ANY evidence of notability.--Eric Yurken (talk) 00:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete as per Eric - simply not notable.
