Nancy Condee, as the former head of the Cultural Studies Department at the University of Pittsburgh has gained international respect and attention in the field of cultural studies. She is a well known and respected professor and author and works closely with other professors mentioned on this site, such as Colin MacCabe and Paul Bové (mentioned in the section regarding Boundary 2). She is currently working on her latest book, to be published by Cambridge University Press.

The reason given for deletion was a question of the author's (myself) credibility arguing that I was the author (my username is Ncondee and the subject is Nancy Condee). This is inaccurate insomuch that I am Nancy Condee's son and former student at the University, Nikolai Condee. While the bias of family members is still present, the argument given is invalid.

Condee has also been a very well-respected and relevant figure in the department of cultural studies and East European politics.

Furthermore, all facts posted have been documented and credited. There is no just reason for deletion.

I understand your position, and I know you love your mother, but putting this article here is problematic. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia--not just a list of people, and the argument for bias is valid, and the article you wrote in no way establishes the notability of the subject. Unfortunately, I think it's best this article be deleted.-- Mumia-w-18 20:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the tag, as the author is trying to make an effort to bring this article up to standard. Speedy deletion should only be used when there is no doubt whatsoever of an article's suitability for Wikipedia. As reviewing admin, I don't believe this is a clear cut example of CSD. If another editor cares to pursue this matter, I'd encourage them to try an AfD. Tijuana Brass 23:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
