While it might technically be possible that the subject of this article (myself) meets the requirements of ] (in particular #8, although being only 8 years old, ] is not yet "a major well-established journal"), there are no reliable, ''independent'' sources on which to base a bio. ] (]) 14:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC) |

:*'''Responses''': ad #1: this is simply a book chapter and as far as I know, not many people have ever paid any attention to it. Ad #2: Peterson's Guide is all inclusive. I was included because at the time I was a faculty member at UMass Worcester. They don't select, so it really doesn't mean anything else than that I worked there. Ad #3: Just shows again how unreliable Google Scholar is. I ''wish'' I had 200 publications, but I have much fewer than that! Ad #4: the fact that a PNAS article cites one of my papers is really nothing out of the ordinary. All academics publish and list some references at the end of their articles. As an aside, I take it as a compliment that you created this page for me, but I don't think I belong here.<s> Many much more notable people have no bios yet, let's work on those.</s> --] (]) 15:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC) |
|
|
:*'''Addition''': Ad #5: "Research Director" is just a job title. It does ''not'' mean that I am ''the'' research director for this whole agency (which would indeed be huge: the CNRS has over 20,000 employees). In our institute here alone, we have 17 CNRS employees, 6 of them being research directors. --] (]) 15:27, 6 August 2009 (UTC) |

::*'''Comment''' Your modesty is commendable. But arguing that there are more deserving scienstists in need of a page isn't a reason to delete per ]. ] Criteria 1, 2, and 3 have been met. But just for the sake of argument, let's say this] argument is acceptable, then there are still many ppl who have pages far, far less deserving than this one. So even ] can count in the articles favor. --] (]) 15:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC) |

:::*You're right, the otherstuffexists argument was not very effective, I have struck it. --] (]) 15:27, 6 August 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete'''. Although GS cites give a respectable h index of 17 I suppport subject's request to delete this recent article. ] (]) 23:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC). |
|
|
*'''Delete''' While I respect that it is a stub, there seems no reason to believe that much further will be found. While I do not know the authenticity of some of the above comments, it does seem very reasonable to believe that in fact there is nothing significant to be found. The only refs are very superficial; one of the external links just points to an article written by the subject leaving the reader to judge whether it is significant or not. That is, there is no ] of the ] of the subject, and the requirements of ] are not met. ] (]) 01:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Keep''' on the basis of the editorship. It's clearly sufficiently important of a journal to count--its 2008 impact factor is 3.890, in the top 10% of the behavioral science category & the top 25% of Neurosciences,.. That it's relatively new and yet has this factor makes it more, not less important. ( I agree that the other arguments for notability in the Misplaced Pages sense are not solid enough as presented here). I really regret not deferring to my colleague Crusio's opinion, but I think the importance of asn editorship such as this one is established. Itg's a key factor in the guideline which we use frequently, since it makes it unnecessary to consider less obvious factors. ''']''' (]) 02:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |

**One can't build an encyclopedia article on vague pronouncements of "importance" made by an unreliable source such as you.

*I totally agree with DGG about the importance of the guideline, and I'm very anxious to see that that particular guideline is not eroded. But as a stronger consideration, I support deleting an article that makes its subject uncomfortable unless the said subject is of primary importance.<p>I'll go with '''delete''' per subject's request, but I'd ask the closer please to say specifically that in this case, ] was ] because of the subject's request and this consensus does not create a precedent.—] ]/] 09:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete'''. While he may meet WP:PROF, I believe that the subject of an article should be able to request deletion unless they clearly meet ]. ] (]) 14:34, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |
|

*'''Comment'''. I strongly agree with the view expressed so succinctly above by ]. (To my knowledge) there is no requirement in WP policy that a topic that passes WP notability criteria MUST have an article on it. If editors on an AfD page decide, as I and some others have in this case, that it is appropriate to concur with a subject's wish to not have an article, then these views can form a legitimate consensus and there is no need for special dispensation. Of course, there are plenty of rogues in the world who would prefer that their activities were not scrutinised by Misplaced Pages, but the present case is clearly not one of these. As well, there are plenty of cases that are so notable that the lack of an article would be detrimental to Misplaced Pages, despite the wishes of the subject. Again this is not one of them. ] (]) 00:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC). |

*'''Comment:''' I think an (at-best-marginally-notable) person nominating an article ''about himself'' would count as a "common sense" reason for an "''occasional'' exception" (I certainly wouldn't expect it to happen too often) to the notability guidelines, as envisaged under {{tl|guideline}}, giving more than sufficient cover for Quantpole et al in their opinion. <font face="Antiqua, serif">'']<sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub><sup>''(''']''')</sup></font> 16:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC) |
