Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Academics and educators

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This listing is for biographical articles on academics. Please see WP:BIO for guidelines on the inclusion of biographical articles in general and WP:ACADEMIC for the widely-used notability standard for academics. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Education for a general list of deletion debates related to education, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools for deletion debates about educational institutions.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Academics and educators. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Academics and educators|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Academics and educators. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

The subject does not seem to meet any of the notability criteria at WP:NACADEMIC or the more general criteria at WP:BIO. Most of the cited sources are associated with the subject (e.g., his faculty pages); the one independent cited source is a review in The Hindu of a book he edited [1]. —Bkell (talk) 13:59, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Marion Kalmus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Was de-PRODded with suggestion to take to AfD. Per PROD, I don't think the subject is notable whether under GNG or under artist specific criteria.

Maybe you could say being a Fellow at Pembroke College is solid enough to hit criterion 3 of WP:NACADEMIC but Kalmus was in fact "Kettle's Yard Artist Fellow in Residence at Pembroke College", not just a Cambridge fellow. There are many Cambridge fellows sans Wiki articles, being one at Kettle's Yard isn't exactly noteworthy.

I've already cleaned content which is either unreferenced/OR but there still exist some bits of question e.g. reference 1, where Kalmus isn't actually listed in the book (unless under a different surname?) (strike through - only version available online i.e. the one I was checking is 1998 pub, referenced one is 2007 pub) and reference 13 which is, as far as I can tell, just citing a person.

It is a separate thing but the majority of the creator/primary contributor's edits have been to Marion Kalmus, Peter Kalmus (physicist) and George Kalmus. I haven't really done a deep dive on the latter two (who are related) but in all three cases there have been significant amounts of unreferenced/unverifiable content which I have had to strip out. Can't confirm it but wouldn't be surprised if Marion is a member of the same family and given the amount of unsourced content across the three it makes me think there could be some potential COI editing at play. ToeSchmoker (talk) 10:20, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the person who wrote the bulk of the articles for Marion Kalmus, Peter Kalmus (physicist) and George Kalmus. There's no conflict of interest. I am not a family member and have nothing to gain from these articles. I worked on Peter and George's information from notes provided by the physics and academic bodied they have represented and from notes they supplied which had been prepared to assist in their eventual obituaries. Marion is the daughter of Peter. She was a significant and leading figure in modern British art during the 1990s and had been tipped for stardom. While she was actively making art her career was similar to Damien Hurst's in that she was already winning art awards and achievements whilst still a student, and she was anticipated as highly likely to achieve similar success; until other circumstances led to her stepping back. She was influential enough that when she did step back, other artists in the field described themselves as being 'the new Marion Kalmus'. I'm very unclear exactly why this article is nominated for deletion? She's just as valid as a modern British artist as the others from the same movement who also have articles.
I have to say that I find your accusation of COI rather unwarranted and insulting. How about believing the best of people rather than the worst? I was under the impression that Wiki's strength was that it is a community and built from the contributions of that the community. It's not much of a community if contributors' work gets trashed wholesale. I may not be a professional author or a Wiki expert, but the articles are sincere. Admiralquirk (talk) 10:49, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Admiralquirk:: it's important not to misunderstand AfD as a judgement on a subject's importance, achievements, validity and so on. The purpose of the exercise is to verify whether it (she) meets the criteria for inclusion in a stand-alone article on Wikipedia, which are known slightly misleadingly as the notability guidelines. For a biography of an artist, the main ways in which this could be demonstrated are:
  • WP:GNG: the gold standard for all articles -- we could demonstrate that there is significant coverage of her and her work in multiple independent reliable sources. These don't necessarily have to be included in the article -- it would be enough to find them and link them here.
  • WP:NARTIST or WP:NAUTHOR (which are the same standard): can we demonstrate from independent reliable sources that her work has had a major impact in her field -- in particular, that her books and/or artworks have been widely reviewed?

This really isn't the avenue for it but it falls on for me raising it - a WP:COI doesn't inherently suggest you are a familial relative or have anything to gain, financial or otherwise. I've just pointed out a pattern of editing which could indicate a COI. "Notes" provided to you personally by the subjects aren't reliable sources because no one else can verify them.

  • Keep - A WP:BEFORE search finds that she meets criteria #4a of WP:NARTIST for her notable permanant public art work created for the National Botanic Garden of Wales. The sculpture and fountain, titled, Thirty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Eight which serves as the public "gateway" or gatehouse to the garden. There is a lot of coverage online of this work. She has also been commissioned for projects by the Tate Museum, and Royal Festival Hall. [4]. Other site-specific works include those for th Jerwood sculpture park, a sculptural work for Canterbury City Center UK[5], a site-specific event for the Victoria and Albert Museum. She also meets WP:GNG: her work has been reviewed in the Sunday Herald (Glasgow) by Giles Sutherland on 10 March 2002; the New South Wales Evening Post on 3 March 2011; in the Western Mail (Cardiff, UK) by Steve Dube, 30 November 2001; among others, all found via ProQuest. Regarding the possible COI, the creator has disclosed that they don't have a COI, and even if they did, while COI editing is strongly discouraged, it is not a valid rational for deletion.

    Hi Pam, I did provide complete URLs for my internet references originally. Someone then subsequently compacted them about a decade ago, applying what was supposed to be a Wiki rule. I'm sorry it is causing a problem. Admiralquirk (talk) 08:18, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Admiralquirk Well the version at the end of your major creation set of editing was this, which seems to have several somewhat malformed refs already such as "issuu.com/powershift/docs/dictionary_k" for the Buckman ref. Yes, I can see that some 2017 edits then incorrectly changed your citations from inline defined to list defined, while trying to improve them, but this article seems never to have had a well-formed set of refs.

    It would be helpful to know which edition of Buckman's Artists in Britain since 1945 was used. Netherzone (talk) 11:27, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well it's not in the 1998 version, I just checked. The 2006 edition doesn't have a match for "Marion Kalmus" on HathiTrust either [6]. Katzrockso (talk) 13:23, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Katzrockso, the book you mention on HathiTrust (Britain Since 1945 by Terry Gorvich and Alan O'Day, published by MacMillan) is not the same book. We are looking for David Buckman's Artists in Britain since 1945. Published by Art Dictionaries Ltd. Nevertheless she still meets WP:NARTIST. Netherzone (talk) 15:20, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, you're correct I don't know why i thought that. Katzrockso (talk) 22:01, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    issuu.com/powershift/docs/dictionary_k was a valid reference, but no use now as the domain is no longer in use and up for sale. It pointed to an alphabetical list of recognised artists. From memory I believe that it claimed to display Buckman's data, but it was a long time ago. There are three crawls on the Wayback Machine which confirm that it did exist and did resolve as a URL. Unfortunately the crawls that the Wayback Machine captured seem to also show that issuu.com relied on Flash to display properly, and it would probably be hard to find anything that uses Flash as a core technology these days. Sadly it is no good as a reference, even from archive as the pages don't load any more. Admiralquirk (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spammy bio of non-notable hair restoring surgeon, no more notable today per WP:BIO or WP:NACADEMIC than when it was deleted at AFD four years ago. Sources are, again, all press releases and sponsored content, and a WP:BEFORE search turned up only more of that, and a book he wrote about his hair transplant technique, published by Springer.

The smiley posed photo is courtesy of User:Mutlutopuz, a blocked sock of User:Ertanguven, and this latest attempt shouts undisclosed paid editing loudly, e.g. this "reference" by Koray Yılmaz about Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, nothing to do with this hair transplant guy.

Non-notable family history researcher. Almost all of the sources here (and those available) are the subject's own works. None of the sources are independent or deal with the subject as a topic in own right. Article on same subject was recently deleted based on AfD outcome (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Guest (researcher and author)). Draft on same subject was also recently deleted based WP:G7/author request (see: logs for Draft:John Guest (author)). Nothing has changed since previous AfD outcome. (I, along with several AfC reviewers, undertook substantive WP:BEFORE as part of AfC review of now-deleted draft. There is nothing to indicate that subject meets WP:NAUTHOR. All of subject's family history works are self-published. None have been subject of reviews or represent the type of highly cited academic works expected by applicable guidelines. The WP:IDHT overtones (in the repeated recreation of this title) are concerning. As are a number of apparently related WP:CITESPAM actions of a number of seemingly overlapping contributors).

The notability tag has been on the article since May, which indicates ongoing concern about whether the subject meets WP:NACADEMIC.

Does not seem to be notable - no sigcov, and there only seem to be seven passing mentions in Reveal the Power of the Pendulum. I found no reliable source to link him definitively to the third Reich. N.B. this Hellmut Wolff is a different person, and previously appeared erroneously as an external link in this article SunloungerFrog (talk) 12:24, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the dewiki article says his first name was Alfred Kurt Hellmut Wolff and he just published his books under the name Hellmut. This seems to be true [9] (this seems to refer to the third reich thing). Alternatively the Nazi connection way be from confusing him with a different astrologist with the same last name who did (claim to, at least) work for the Nazis. My guess is he's probably notable but he seems to have used a bunch of different names so finding sources is hard and I don't feel comfortable voting yet.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article describes a professor but only seems to use cursory mentions that appear to have been derived from a casual search of Google Books and bibliography websites, not WP:secondary sources. I tried searching for this person's name on Serbian websites, and it shows that they are mentioned in the context of an early Serbian gymnasium in the Kingdom of Hungary, which seems to have been notable, but there doesn't seem to be significant coverage of the person.

This was a draft accepted from anonymous contributions that are in my opinion a behavioral match with an earlier case of an editor who's done a huge number of low-quality biographies on Serbian people, and never responded to criticism, including about copyright, and had to be blocked. Joy (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Ignjatović is sufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article. His work is mentioned in scholarly publications, including the voluminous Hstory of the Serbian theatre: please see here and here. — Sadko (words are wind) 00:21, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    But the links you posted are just that - mentions. They don't demonstrate significant coverage.
    The first link is a summary of a paper "Melodrama u vremenu rađanja srpske dramske književnosti" by Kovaček [sh] (1995), but we don't have the paper itself. I guess it is good as Ignjatović is worthy of a mention in the summary, but at the same time this author says their year of death was 1843?. If they don't even know the year of death of a person from the 19th century, I don't see how we can surmise sufficient notability for a standalone encyclopedia article. I tried googling the paper name, and found no other online references to it.
    The second link, Stojković [sr] (1977), p. 42 has a single paragraph about him. It starts with saying:
    Zna se da je od 1811. godine (a verovatno i nešto ranije) do 1826. godine prevodio pozorišne komade...
    So it's "known" that he started doing something in 1811 and probably somewhat earlier - the author tells us that those are scraps of information they're working off of. Or:
    Poznato je samo da je Ignjatović 27. IX 1826. godine spremio s diletantima u Novom Sadu predstavu...
    So it's "only" known that this play was prepared, and it was with dilettantes, amateurs. Again the author is telling us in no uncertain terms that very little is known about Ignjatović.
    This person clearly deserves a similar level of mention in the encyclopedia - in a topical article about the history of Serbian theatre. A standalone biography - I don't think so. --Joy (talk) 09:20, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it's a borderline situation, and I am more inclined toward a 'weak keep.' In the History of Serbian Theatre, we are presented with a short text about his life, a typical short encyclopedia-style entry. The fact that the actors were not professionals is not a valid argument, considering that hiring amateurs or semi-professionals was widely common in European theatre, and there were few, if any, institutions for the education of actors in the Balkans.By the way, in some sources, Ignjatović is listed as Mojsije, not Mojsej. Anyhow, what we know for a fact is:
1) He was highly educated and served as the superintendent of high schools, which from a modern-day point of view may sound trivial, but back in the day there were only a few active educational institutions.
2) He was a prolific translator, translating and adapting plays from several languages into Serbian, by at least seven authors. That's no small feat.
3) He was a theatre producer, arguably one of the pioneers in the region at that time, producing plays during the first half of the 19th century.
4) He wrote at least two original works.
5) He has been covered in several papers and is included in the Teatroslov database.
For me, all things considered, that outweighs the reasons for deletion, but then again, I'm an inclusionist. Just my two cents. Take care. — Sadko (words are wind) 15:38, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with this argument if we were talking about e.g. 12th century or the 2nd century BC. But this seems like a stretch for the 19th century in Europe, where the standard of documentation is usually far higher.
I mean look at the Mojsije Ignjatović entry in the Teatroslov database - [10] - there's almost nothing there. And if we follow the links to Artelo to the director Atanasije Nikolić [11] or the composer Josif Šlezinger [sr] [12] - both have quite a bit more documented. And our article on Nikolić barely mentions his theatre work next to all the other notable things that are documented.
Which also brings up another parallel - Ignjatović doesn't even have an article on the Serbian Wikipedia, unlike the other two. --Joy (talk) 09:04, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Mojsej Ignjatović article.
Hello Joy,
Thank you for your thoughtful attention and the care you bring to article quality. I moved the Mojsej Ignjatović article from draft to mainspace because I felt he was a culturally significant figure whose name appears across scattered sources, yet remains largely unseen.
After reading your comment, I took time to re-examine everything — from old book footnotes to university theses available in PDF format. He is mentioned in many academic contexts, especially in works related to the history of Serbian theatre. You're absolutely right that deep analytical coverage is rare, but I was able to piece together his activity from 1802 to 1839 through these fragments.
One thesis from the University of Vienna explicitly refers to him as a “professor.” Another promising source is In That Sombor Town by Milan Stepanović, available on Academia.edu, though I don’t have full access to it.
As someone passionate about cultural history, I published the article simply to help bring visibility to a forgotten figure.
Warm regards, Vodnir (talk) 18:11, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but not at the expense of following the spirit and letter of applicable policies and guidelines. You had made a number of basic policy violations that I've had to explain at User talk:Joy#Follow-up on Mojsej Ignjatović article edits. Afterwards, I see more dubious edits, like this one where you replace a cleanup tag for needing non-primary sources with a reference to a library catalogue for Ignjatović's own 1839 book.
I mean, sure, technically it's a reference to the fact that the City of Zagreb Library considers this book worthy of keeping in their collection of rare books and manuscripts, which is sort of an indication of notability. At the same time, they're a library from the person's place of origin whose mission is to preserve those sorts of works, even if their utility to the average English reader may be comparatively small.
In that case, the cleanup tag was saying that it would improve the encyclopedia if we had a reference to a secondary source. For example like Stojković (1977) linked above, where the work is put in context and we can cite a scholar's assessment. That way we're not putting the burden on the reader to try to figure out what does this library placement really mean. (Disregarding for the moment the fact that that specific assessment is brief and uncertain as well, but at least it's not our original research.) --Joy (talk) 09:20, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again Joy,
I hope you are doing well,
Thank you for your thoughtful and policy-grounded feedback. I want to emphasize that I fully respect Wikipedia’s guidelines and the experience of editors like yourself. My intention was to follow your earlier advice and improve sourcing not to disregard cleanup tags or editorial standards.
I truly appreciate your attention to detail and your commitment to upholding the integrity of the encyclopedia. It’s precisely because of contributors like you that editors like myself have the opportunity to learn and grow. I do not intend to make inappropriate edits, and I take your guidance seriously.
I remain committed to learning, improving, and contributing constructively within the framework of Wikipedia’s policies. My decision to replace sources was solely based on your earlier guidance regarding the need for secondary sources. I had also expressed my good faith intentions on your talk page, and I truly appreciated your generous response.
That said, I now fully understand that the expectations you outlined and Wikipedia’s sourcing standards were not adequately met. For now, I’ve suggested keeping the article as is, so that when time allows, I or any experienced editor may revisit it and work toward meeting the sourcing standards you described.
I recognize that the subject and his work are historically significant, but as you rightly pointed out, the currently available sources may not be sufficiently persuasive. Your guidance helped clarify that, and I’m grateful for it.
Thank you again for your time, clarity, and generosity in sharing your expertise. Sincerely Vodnir (talk) 12:46, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi. I’m a new user so I hope it is OK to join the discussion here (new to wikipedia but experienced at editing text). Am I right in thinking that this article is not a new wikipedia entry (history tab shows entries dating back about 8 years)? Also looks like it has had more than 20 contributors, which suggests a certain level of neutrality.
    I was checking out the Wikipedia deletion policy, and found this: “If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page”. So just wondering whether improving the article might be an important first step (and may be more consistent with Wikipedia policy)?
    A quick search brings up quite a few sources sources that could be added to improve this article. For instance, I found this reference, which is a third party, independent article with depth of coverage from a reliable source: https://comm.ku.dk/calendar/2019/european-film/
    I'm guessing there are probably more. Don't know for sure but could try. ~2025-32854-94 (talk) 19:03, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A guest lecturer mentioned in a university press release is a long way from showing notability... None of these are helpful. Oaktree b (talk) 20:59, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just a note that despite the request to join the discussion as a new user, this appears to be the same editor that dropped the three lists of references hatted above. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:00, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Wouldn't pass academic notability [13] with a sub 100 citations... a regular Gsearch brings up social media, LinkedIn, Imdb, then off a cliff for RS. There just isn't enough here to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:58, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I don't feel I can responsibly close this discussion as a Delete without at least a minimum investigation into all of these sources dumped into this discussion. There are a ton so a source assessment doesn't need to be comprehensive but at least a summary of sources would help out here.

Delete: As other users have already pointed out, the subject of this article does not seem very notable (hence the only 2 google news hits) and does seem to show some signs of COI. I say this because, if a Wikipedia user woke up one day and decided to write a new article and contribute to the overall internet literacy of the world, why, of all things would they write about Julia Hammett-Jamart?
