This page reads like a CV. It makes several comments without providing any evidence, such as:
"Deakin Law School- Australia's most well-known law faculty" - is it really? On what basis?
"While McConvill certainly is well qualified for the position [of Head of School]" - what is the basis for this statement?
- It is clear that the information here belongs more properly on the author's Wikipedia user page. It is either a vanity page, or autobiographical, or both. It should be listed for deletion, if not wikified and adopting a NPOV. Smallchange 12:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

- personally, I reckon the article is interesting, about a public figure and one that should stay. this bloke is the editor of a peer-reviewed academic journal and some of you have the tenacity to say his not famous. The only flaw in this article is that it has been written in the first person.
- I'd think that if he were the editor of a peer-reviewed academic journal, and you used that as the basis of your argument that he was famous, you'd a) name the journal and b) add something about it to this page. Delete. Nukeqler 01:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Editing edit
I am all for triming out fluff, but this article has been stripped to the bones and now gives the impression of a total NN lawyer. Surely all the stuff about his controversial publications needs to go back in, however poorly it might be phrased? I almost listed this as an AfD because it contains nothing remotely encyclopediac at the moment. --Legis (talk - contribs) 20:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
