After nominating the article for Roy Levien, I came across this article for the co-author of Mr. Levien's book. Same issues as before, doesn't meet WP:GNG, and clearly a WP:COI problem based on the edit history. One of the references is literally his CV. Kylemahar902 (talk) 22:11, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Maybe speedy keep WP:SK3 as an invalid nomination that does not consider the correct notability criteria. The named chair at Harvard passes WP:PROF#C5 (which is not about sourcing/publicity unlike GNG), heavy citations [1] appear to pass #C1, and multiple book reviews of multiple books (JSTOR 4166241, JSTOR 43240116, JSTOR 24131653, doi:10.1080/09700161.2021.1918951, doi:10.1111/radm.12489) pass WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:17, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I appreciate your input. Even if he does meet notability, I still believe the article is problematic enough to warrant at least sending to draft if nothing else, I wouldn't call it a speedy keep. Maybe I'm missing a specific policy but the article is essentially a resume. All of the references are either his CV, or papers he wrote. Kylemahar902 (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Draftification is for new articles. This one is 15 years old. See WP:DRAFTNO #1. And your comment about his CV appears to be doubling down on your failure to apply the correct notability criterion. WP:PROF is not about independence of sourcing. And even if we were using GNG, it would be about sourcing that can be found about the subject, not merely about the sources already listed as references in the article. See also WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:08, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per David Eppstein; clearly meets multiple points of PROF and also AUTHOR. Use of a university-hosted CV is normal for academics and in this case is only being used to support the subject's first degree, which does not contribute to notability.
