Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alvin Goldfarb
He's prominent in his community, that's certain.  And, yes, we can verify certain details about his professional life, and I have added some of those to the article.  But Wikipedia is not, as a NYT article once misdescribed us, an online who's-who.  There's no |profile of him (or of the admittedly "widely used" textbooks that he only ''co''-edited) that we could use to write a Wikipedia article about him or his publications
