This article is rated Start-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | ||||||||

The paragraph about Paperbacks Plus connected to the slam reference is the only citation I can validate online, and this person's name is not even mentioned in the referenced ar5ticle. There are no citations to validate these claims or to indicate the person's notability. Someone pasted in his resume and editors have had decades to fix, cite, and add, but the subject does not have references or citations available because he is not notable based on our definitions. Proposing article for deletion because it does not match any of our criteria for notability. The article has been recommended for deletion several times in the past, and it is time to remove it.
formatting and research needed to improve content
[edit]It reads mainly like this person's resume more than an article about a notable person. Looks like he is a retired professor. Is this noteworthy enough, though? Difficult to locate much info for research to edit this article because of generic name and lack of resources available. Citations are needed but lacking making accurate updates impossible to change the tone from resume to wikipedia standards. Maybe the subject could help with that research since he is still living.
not sure how to correct the formatting from this resume plunk of a retired university professor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elderpops (talk • contribs) 18:23, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Notability in question.
[edit]I checked the 2 sources in reference list and scanned the text as much as I could searching for Charles Taylor Jr. name but could not locate it. The New York Times source discusses his named student with no mention of Charles Taylor Jr. This name is generic enough that it could be questionable. Maybe other editors can also check citations to make sure they actually mention the subject Charles Taylor Jr. in the text, but I could not find his name. arthur poe 19:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artpoetry (talk • contribs)
Not notable. The slam site reference used never mentions his name.
[edit]The notability in ques6tion banner has been attached to this for many years now. I recommend this article for immediate deletion. The reference listed for the slam article does not mention the subject's name at all. Can't locate the listed writing titles I tried to spot check online anywhere, so no verifications of info available with no citations. It has had enough time to fix problems, maybe almost 2 decades by now. Time to delete it. Factchecker (talk) 20:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
