Untitled

I have restored material about where he has been a visiting professor, and the editorial board of journals he has been on. Though they individually do not prove notability, they certainly contribute to it, and it is appropriate material for articles on faculty, and is always added if known.

As for notability, a full professor of finance at NYU's business school is almost certain to be notable. His publications needto be added , to show him as being an authority in his profession, according to WP:PROF. DGG (talk) 04:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

numbers of papers

I used the number "over 17" because I did what I know to be an incomplete search and found 17. They can of course be added, but I'd rather do that after a more complete search. Anyone else is welcome to do it of course. DGG (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My problem with this formulation is that it is unwarranted promotion for this person. We are not supposed to be writing a resume for him. The test for whether to include the number of publications should be whether any independent source has taken note of it. Does that seem reasonable? 160.39.213.97 (talk) 13:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No response from anyone? Does anyone have an objection to removing the number-of-papers data as promotional/CV-like? 160.39.213.97 (talk) 00:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - No one? Going once...going twice... 160.39.213.97 (talk) 07:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

of course I still object. It's normal content. DGG (talk) 00:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I"m sorry, "normal content" is a circular and barely coherent argument. Anyone else? 160.39.213.97 (talk) 12:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
