Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frances Fox Piven
Publisher's blurbhttp://www.thenewpress.com/index.php?option=com_title&task=view_title&metaproductid=1725 states, "Frances Fox Piven is Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Sociology at The Graduate Center, CUNY", so she meets guideline 5 of . Her work makes her . The positions she has taken make her a lightning rod, and, unfortunately, that lightning has struck in the form of Glenn Beck. Some of her positions have been taken out of context: her subtle description about nonviolent protestors using violence, for example. The death threats are troubling, but the tiff with Beck does not seem notable, WP is not a diary for talking heads, and the whole controversy surrounding Beck should be removed. I would keep the article, but delete other information that is not relevant such as her religion. Although she wants her marital status suppressed, a marriage to coauthor Cloward would be relevant
