Proposed deletion of Andrew J Newman
edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Andrew J Newman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Does not pass wp:prof as written. No endowed chair, no prestigious award, not the head of his department, etc. Refs are not great either.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
