John Dwyer (professor)

Non-notable academic. Being a Fellow of the IEE doesn't seem adequate for WP:PROF, which is the only biographical guideline which seems to apply. Dwyer function, which would, if accepted, also be grounds for at least putting some biographical information in that article, is also up for deletion by {{prod}}. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Weak publication record, now at an unaccredited university. Former deputy head is not enough (former dean, maybe, but he's not that) and neither is fellow of IEE (fellow of the IEEE would probably be enough for me, but again, he's not that). Does not pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 14:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Richmond is accredited in the UK and in the US; Dwyer was indeed previously Fellow of the IEE for many years; if the more complete biographical information had not been recently deleted, it would be clear that Dwyer was Department Chair at Richmond for more than twelve years, a Director of a postgraduate studies for two years and a Ph.D. external examiner at the University of Portsmouth. Dwyer is a full professor at Richmond.[Dwyerj]
