Does not pass WP:PROF or WP:N guidelines. The subject is an adjunct professor with no notable achievements inside or outside of academics. The assertion of significance through the video tutorials appears moot as the tutorials are self published. ERK talk 21:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Hey, I think WP:Prof should be okay. The idea was to help with the WikiProject Universities effort, and in fact, we would like to list multiple professors like other universities do.

The education hardware professor Muilenburg developed is being used at both OSU and PSU, and the material he teaches at PSU is unique and highly valued. Also, he has tens of thousands of hits on youtube for the video tutorials. I added a few more references that were not self published. Muilenta (talk) 23:12, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for the useful feedback as I'm new to posting.

  • Weak Keep. According to his faculty page,[1] he's an adjunct professor not professor. There's a difference. But more important, that shows that he's he;s a senior engineer at Intel. That's his main career; his work at PSU is, as the title says, an adjunct to that. (even if the inexperienced editor didn;t realize it or mention it in the article). It's very difficult to judge such careers, and I'd be inclined to give the article the benefit of the doubt , because we do recognize contributions to educational programs as part of WP:PROF.

    • Comment It appears the article's creator is the subject or closely related. Another editor pointed out the WP:COI on the creator's talk page. While his main career is as a senior engineer at Intel, I don't believe that's enough to satisfy criteria #7 of WP:PROF, as there's nothing to suggest his position at Intel carries any notability. I can't find anything that comes close to satisfying any of the other criteria. --ERK talk 05:57, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned up the article quite a bit. I looked at pages of some other professors, and modeled after those. Thanks again for the constructive feedback Muilenta (talk) 21:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
