Deletion of Matthew Levendusky

Comment: There's no substantial argument against Levendusky's notability here – being "publicly known" beyond academia does not feature in  at all. Per the above, it looks like the real reason for this AfD is that the subject of the article has asked the nominator to delete it. That isn't grounds for deletion, and AfD isn't the appropriate place to address the issue

Comment: or create a separate article for the book Partisan Sort and '''redirect'''. Prof. Levedusky is a notable author and scientist, which is well documented in the reviews published by peer reviewed journals (currently present in the article). The information is publicly available and verifiable and there's no reason to delete this article from Wikipedia. @Greg Kite: In http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthew_Levendusky&diff=519211369&oldid=475229975 your initial request, you stated that the subject requested deletion. Could you elaborate, please? I'm sorry, maybe I confused you with my claim that he's a "publicly known personality", it was a bit vague and ambiguous. You can check our notability guidelines for |scientists, |authors and also our |general notability requirements. Thank you
