WP:BIO Non-notable academic lawyer. John Nagle 04:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- This article about an apparently non-notable lawyer who teaches at a Canadian school has touched off a flame war concerning his grading policies. Multiple edits have been made to the article over the last few weeks, but no new verifiable information has appeared. "prod" and "verify" tags have been inserted and removed. Threats have been made (see article history). As someone uninvolved in the issue, I suggest just deleting the article. --John Nagle 04:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above. --John Nagle 04:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I'm in two minds about this, but a google search suggests that he really is a full professor. If so, that alone should be enough for notability. But let's delete it to take the heat out, if people are actually making threats and no one is contributing anything worthwhile. If an article is created at some time in the future it may be a different story. Metamagician3000 04:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Responding to the above comments, threats and edit wars do not always merit an article deletion and being a professor does not always merit an article to be kept. Either way, delete the article as it fails WP:PROFTEST and recieves only 95 unique Google results [1]. --TBC??? ??? ??? 04:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
There are votes in favour of it being kept. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Yvon_Duplessis Also, the article as expanded 06:20, 10 April 2006 24.43.87.250 should be considered. History BA keeps deleting things out of a personal vendetta on this thread.
- Just to note, those who voted for the article to be kept on the talk page were all anonymous IP adresses.--TBC??? ??? ??? 06:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Also, in response to PROF test, Me. Duplessis passes on item #1 in part as well as #2 and #5 in larger part. He is also notable for his performance in the aforementioned case (which History BA probably has already reverted again) as well as his relation to a Quebec historical personality (also incorrectly reverted by HistoryBA.
- Delete grading wars are not wikipedia material. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 06:33, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
It is not a grading war, i have never even taken a class with him. He has national noteworthiness particularly in eastern canada.
- Delete per nom, notability has not been established within the article. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
