Speedy deletion
[edit]Why is the subject of the article not noteworthy? He is a high up academic, editor and author. Considering many Durham Principals who are of his academic note have their own articles, why not him?
See the following for articles of a related topic, who you might argue are of equal note, none of whom have speedy deletion pages, and indeed, whose articles have been present for a while on wikipedia.
http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/William_Sanday http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Edward_Henry_Bradby http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/William_George_Henderson
With regard to pages on academics, there are several non-durham academics who have articles of a similar calibre who you might argue showed little note, but whose articles remain:
http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Aziz_Al-Azmeh http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alex_Prichard http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Edward_Royle http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Philip_England http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Rodney_Hilton
...and that was just a 30 second search.
He is noteworthy under wikipedia noteworthy guideline for academics, criteria number 3, as an honorary fellow of the RCGP. One might also add that as a Principal of a Durham College he is noteworthy under criteria 5 or 6.
