Deletion of Dan Martin (academic)

Comment: No secondary sources, no independent, notable sources regarding his research. As a matter of fact, I don't see ''any'' published research. Kind of makes  a hard sell. Yes, he is currently a dean at a major university. Great. But, I would have voted for keep if he acquired that position while publishing, distinguishing himself (e.g. fellowship) in some way

Comment: It's now clear, from an objective standpoint, that Martin passes the notability test based on the criteria of , which says that "Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable." Criteria 5 is: "The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon)." Martin holds a named chair at a highly-regarded university, so he's notable. The CMU announcement is a reliable source per the notability guidelines, and it was also published in the http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/art-architecture/art-notes-high-heat-fails-to-burn-out-heritage-festival-fans-644160/ Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.   --Special:Contributions/76.189.114.163|76.189.114.163

Comment: His bio here and at CMU makes him look more like a mid-level academic administrator than someone with either the high research impact or top-level administrative position that  demands

Comment: The only way I see him passing the notability test is per criteria 5 of : "The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon)." He does hold a named chair, but it's an intermim postition. Is holding a named chair enough to establish notability, when nothing else establishes it? If so, is holding an INTERIM named chair enough? Absent this one factor, I would not hesitate to recommend deletion. Thoughts? By the way, when I see puff terms like "superstar arts administrator" and "super-highly regarded school," it puts a giant red flag up for me indicating that notability can't be established based simply on the subject's own merits.  --Special:Contributions/76.189.114.163|76.189.114.163
