Bryan Jepson
Orphaned article about non-notable individual, per Misplaced Pages:Notability (people) and Misplaced Pages:Notability (academics). Sideshow Bob Roberts (talk) 03:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Although person has almost 8000 google hits, he doesn't seem to fit well under any of the criteria of Misplaced Pages:Notability (academics). But I don't know a lot about autism research, so my vote for deletion can only be one of "weak delete" in light of the google hits, which I haven't completely sifted through. Snocrates 03:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: There is one article in a local newspaper covering an appearance, but I don't see enough to fulfill WP:PROF. MastCell 04:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: This, this and these Google scholar results indicate that he is a reputed authority on autism. Definitely notable -- ¿Amar៛ 06:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: The first link indicates that he spoke at a conference. The second link indicates that he wrote a book. Neither of these makes him notable.
- I could only find one peer-reviewed paper by Jepson and it's not about autism. Four results on Google scholar is, frankly, pathetic. (I return way more hits than that and I'm certainly not notable.)
- If he's an "authority", where's the recognition from his peers? If he's "definitely notable", how come he's been so thoroughly ignored by the national media? Sideshow Bob Roberts (talk) 17:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- delete. This person is of no stature, but has simply been inserted in a bid to mislead parents into thinking there is credible opinion to attack vaccines and make money for autism quacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.124.221 (talk) 15:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletions. -- A. B. 17:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. -- A. B. 17:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Searching on Google for "Bryan Jepson" gives just 271 hits, searching without "" gives 512 Ghits, so I don't know where the figure 8000 mentioned by Snocrates above comes from. As mentioned by Sideshow Bob Roberts, the 4 hits on Google Scholar are not very impressive. Even less impressive is the fact Jepson appears not to have been cited (even the only paper that I could localize in Web of Science, the above mentioned paper in Pediatrics, has been cited only 17 times). In short, from Google Scholar and WoS it is clear that this person is not notable as an academic at all. From what I see in Google and above, I don't think that he's notable according to WP:FRINGE, either. --Crusio (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete; no notability, as shown above. The Google Scholar information is rather pathetic for a modern scholar writing in the Western world--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - I haven't looked at this particular article yet, but the autism and anti-vaccine activists have colonized Misplaced Pages to a significant extent, meaning that there is a lot of coverage in Misplaced Pages on these topics. It's my sense that some of the article contributors may be a bit over-broad in their sense of what is notable on this issue. --Lquilter (talk) 19:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
