Deletion of Michael Rizzo (2nd nomination)

Comment: As noted by the nominator, this person does not meet any of the nine elements of the prof test. He's an assistant professor (non-tenured position on the tenure track below associate professor and professor). He teaches classes. He writes articles.

That's not enough to convince me of a pass of #C1, especially when his frequent collaborator Ehrenberg has much higher numbers (so that what impact these papers have may be due to Ehrenberg's coat-tails rather than Rizzo's contribution). If there is to be a case for keeping this article, I think it is not by  but maybe for his popular press activity. But among the many newspaper articles mentioning someone by his name, I didn't find enough that covered him nontrivially rather than merely quoting him briefly to convince me of a pass of , either
