Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ken Blum
For those who don't know: it's an academic's job to publish. Hundreds of non-notable professors have long, but thin publication lists. Is he the first author on all the articles listed above? I doubt it. If a student in his lab publishes a paper, they automatically put his name on it as a courtesy, even if he did no work on it.  recommends that where expert knowledge would be needed to judge work, that textbook authorship or general media be looked for. Did he publish anything that was written up in Time, Newsweek, or the New York Times? I note that supporters rush to insist on Keep here, but still haven't put references into the aritcle. I wish as much effort went into improving articles as goes into saving them from AfD
