Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John A. Boockvar
It is true as Guillaume has demonstrated that the subject does not meet the criteria at ; he is only an associate professor, and his publications do not meet the usual requirements. However, he may well qualify for an article under . http://www.google.com/#q=%22john+a.+boockvar%22&hl=en&tbm=nws&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=wINfT5zOGcmZ2QX65qGKCA&ved=0CA4QpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=4a00c94d7534dec6&biw=1058&bih=664 Google News search finds a lot of articles in at least four languages. One is a substantial article about him and his research team in http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080516164115.htm Science News Daily. Another (sorry, can't link to it due to laptop limitations) quotes him in a New York Times article. Some advice for User:Rousseauwake: please back off and stop trying to edit/keep this article. It is in terrible shape, completely non-encyclopedic, and your attempts to improve it are making it worse. The entire "honors" and "publications" sections should be deleted, they do not contribute to his notability. Instead the article should explain who he is, what his training/background is, and what his impact on the field is. Tell you what: in a day or two I'll have some time to rework the article. In the meantime, please follow the instructions at  and do not edit the article yourself. Instead, if you have something you think needs to be in the article, post it on the article's Talk:John A. Boockvar|talk page and let an experienced Wikipedia editor decide whether and how to put it in the article. One thing I would like to know: one of the news programs seemed to refer to him as holding an endowed assistant professorship; what's that about? Anyhow, in my opinion he deserves an article here, but not in its present form. Please trust the rest of us to fix it up
