Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Bob Howard (academic). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.arts.usyd.edu.au/departs/government/staff/bob_howard.htm
Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110301205028/http://www.ancors.uow.edu.au/fellows/fellows.html to http://ancors.uow.edu.au/fellows/fellows.html

Notability[edit]

I was not able to weigh in on this because it was closed while I was researching. Wikipedia:Notability (academics) states ""Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable.": (#8)- The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. This seems to be a shoe-in except reliable sources do not include primary sources for WP:notability. The article either has only primary sources, sources that are not about the subject, or non-primary that is not about the subject. The lone criteria that a professor can be "notable" without acceptable proof is insane, and that is not what the criteria states, and the sourcing for a BLP stinks.

I will be watching this article and will, at the earliest possible convenience, resubmit for AFD without some sourcing to verify notability that are not primary. Otr500 (talk) 02:45, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
