Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shawn P. Wilbur
The reason I wrote this article is because the subject is Art Strike 1990–1993|mentioned Cyberpunk (album)|in Spunk Library|several Pierre-Joseph Proudhon|distinct An Anarchist FAQ|and Jesse Cohn|unrelated Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas|articles, and there was a clear need to provide context to our readers. His work is http://books.google.co.uk/books?um=1&ned=uk&hl=en&q=%22shawn%20wilbur%22&sa=N&tab=np frequently http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?um=1&ned=uk&hl=en&q=%22shawn%20wilbur%22&sa=N&tab=ps cited in scholarly literature; the vast majority of which is not yet integrated into the article. Beyond this, he has been the subject multiple instances of non-trivial coverage as cited, which in case anyone has forgotten is the primary standard for inclusion. The nomination seems to confuse the concept of notability with that of importance, when what it is really concerned with is |verifiability. It is critically important for Wikipedia to be transparent in identifying its sources, and providing well-referenced articles on the scholars and work frequently used in writing the encyclopaedia is a crucial and neglected part of this. The article itself is neutral, verifiable and does not engage in original research, and |can be much further expanded from the available |reliable sources. I cannot believe that deleting it is in the interest of the encyclopaedia or its readership
