Academics edit

  • Owen Astrachan - professor of computer science, field curriculum and teaching methods, low publication and citations for professors doing this sort of thing. Instead on meeting panels, special sessions, etc. at meetings of groups like ACM SIGCSE as recorded in his cv and in the Bulletin.
  • Catherine L. Besteman - anthropologist
  • Martha Copp - stub with enough to show notability including reasonable list of selected publications
  • Rae Helen Langton - professor of philosophy whose CV provided extensive autobiographical information
  • John Swinton (theologian)
  • Margaret Hotchkiss - very nice research section

From DGG's talk page - Basic cleanup steps for professors (and much of it applies to all bios) Oct 2014

On WP:Notability (academic) edit

Fellows (professional organizations) edit

My comment at AfD for Adem Yetim:

  • There may be some confusion about the meaning of being a Fellow of a professional society where the term is a membership level and of being a Fellow of other professional societies where the term Fellow is reserved for honorary awards. The BCS Fellow is a membership level for senior people in the profession. A person applies for it themselves; there is an application fee. Fellows pay higher dues. This is different from the American computing societies. Fellow is an honorary award given to a limited number of members. A person does not apply for it but must be nominated by others. There are no fees. Receiving it has no effect on dues. See ACM Fellows and IEEE Fellows. BCS does have an equivalent award, Distinguished Fellow of the British Computer Society. (Oct 2021)

Schools edit

While the Notability documents don't say this, there is a statement at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Schools that says "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are being kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists."
