List of Lee Teng Interns

seems like perfectly good db-group to me. I'm usually considered very conservative about this so I'm interested to hear why you thought otherwise. DGG (talk) 05:18, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To me, db-group does not apply to lists of people, since the article is not about the group itself, at least not directly. But if you want to speedy it, go ahead. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 11:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

for a true list, I'd agree with you, but this is just a disguised article about the group. I will speedy. It's just vanity, that word we're not supposed to use, to display the names here, and the particular context is one we should discourage. DGG (talk) 15:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robert W. Thomson

Hi. I would like to inquire with regards to the tags you attached to this article. Why Harvard and Oxford professor and chair is not notable for an article? And is the Oxford university website not a reliable third party source? Thank you very much. Regards, Grandmaster 07:07, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, being a professor is not by itself an indication of notability. And the Oxford University, as reliable as it may be, is not a third-party source in this case. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 10:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He is mentioned almost in every book that refers to Armenian primary sources, as he translated many of them into English. See for instance references to his translation of Moses of Chorene: [1] Also, whatever is written at Oxford website is confirmed by other sources, for instance:

R. W. Thomson was the Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies at Harvard University and director of Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC.

Ronald Grigor Suny. Transcaucasia, nationalism and social change: essays in the history of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies. ISBN 0472096176, 9780472096176, p. 515

What kind of source is required to establish notability of this scholar? Grandmaster 11:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, you simply need to show that he is often quoted as a reference. You've asserted just that above, but your article doesn't quite do justice to that. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
