Does not seem to meet WP:BIO. Claim to be an "important figure" in security and tourism is not supported by the sources listed and is pure NPOV. The few outside sources listed only confirm his position and that he wrote a single book. Collectonian (talk) 20:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

The article doesn't demonstrate notability as an academic. The biggest barrier right now for the article is that it does not cite any reliable, third-party sources (The Batt is a newspaper, but since it is a school paper for the school where he is a professor, it can't stand alone in establishing notability, and the other "sources" are websites of places he is affiliated with.). Can you find reliable sources-quickly-that discuss him in detail? Karanacs (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
And yet, no one is adding any of this information to the article? Wouldn't that address the issue far better than just saying "here's stuff"? Collectonian (talk) 02:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Then WHY did you nominate the article without even checking if there were other sources, if the article did not meet "your" standards? This nomination is rather BOGUS and far from constructive! Bhaktivinode (talk) 02:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
You were the one who created the article as a two sentence stub, and despite having its notability questioned previously, did nothing to address the issue. It is not the job of other editors to fix your articles when you make them like this then abandon them. The article makes none of the assertions of notability given here and is entirely sourced by primary and local sources. My quick search only show that he writes a few niche books and is a professor. As I didn't feel any of that meet WP:BIO or Misplaced Pages:Notability (academics), I sent it for AfD.
Only now is more information being given, and even then it is all of the stuff IZAK lists comes from TAMU, his unversity, so it is not an independant, secondary source. Where are outside sources showing that he is "regarded as an important figure by independent notable academics in the same field," "has published a significant and well-known academic work,", "has received a notable award or honor", or that he is "the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject?" It was not a first resort, the article was previously CSDed. Collectonian (talk) 02:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
And yet you used Afd as a first resort? Far from civil! Bhaktivinode (talk) 02:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Try again. It was questioned for notability over a month ago when it was sent for CSD, so you and anyone else interested has had a month since then to address the issues. You did nothing and still have not shown any actual notability outside of TAMU. Collectonian (talk) 02:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I have no clue what your motives are but you seem to consistantly delete artiticles related to Jews in Texas. This article is notable, I feel other editors will agree. I am sure we will be discussing other deletions in the future. Bhaktivinode (talk) 02:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
