Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herbert B. Mayo
Earlier today the article creator wrote a joke article about this professor, which was speedied. He returned to attempt to write a legit article, but has apparently been driven off by drive-by taggers who barraged the article with deletion nominations only minutes after he began writing it.  "Herbert B. Mayo" gets over 500,000 GHits, which is the same order of magnitude as those for "Theodore R. Sizer," a very notable academic whose name I picked out because his obituary ran nationally today. I really, really doubt Mayo is anywhere near as notable as Sizer, judging mainly by the NY Times piece I read, but the Google hits instead reflect the ubiquity of the textbooks he was written -- and writing frequently used textbooks is one way of satisfying criteria 4 of . So how about backing off and showing more civility towards (and help from those knowledgeable on the subject, which doesn't include me) a new editor who screwed up and is trying to make amends
