Michael Bounds' article states he is a college professor and was head of a department of an Australian university for a few years. That does not make someone notable. There are a lot of college professors out there. Furthermore there is only one link and no sourcing in the article to back up the claims. The article does not seem to establish notability. It is not verified. A good search didn't turn up a thing besides this article. He did seem to write a book on gentrification in Australia. However amazon.com seems to show it as his only published work. I should note most college professors do write and publish a book or two for the sole purposes of their own courses. That is what this book appears to be. I think the article should then be deleted. As for all the editors that have expressed concerns over my inexperience with AfDs, I hope I have herein satisfied your suggestions and concerns regarding proper listing.

- Delete. I can't find anything either. He's written a number of papers as well, but at first glance, there's nothing that makes him stand out among other academics and meet our notability guidelines on professors. Celarnor 11:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

- Comment this AfD was speedy closed and that closure was contested at DRV. I am restoring the AfD vecause it was not an appropriate non-admin closure. See WP:NAC. The non-admin closer's closing statement is pasted below, and refactored as a !vote. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 22:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
The result was speedykeep. Subject is likely notable. Disruptive nomination by likely sockpuppet account. Wikidemo (talk) 16:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
