Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Martin (academic)
The only way I see him passing the notability test is per criteria 5 of : "The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon)." He does hold a named chair, but it's an intermim postition. Is holding a named chair enough to establish notability, when nothing else establishes it? If so, is holding an INTERIM named chair enough? Absent this one factor, I would not hesitate to recommend deletion. Thoughts? By the way, when I see puff terms like "superstar arts administrator" and "super-highly regarded school," it puts a giant red flag up for me indicating that notability can't be established based simply on the subject's own merits.  --Special:Contributions/76.189.114.163|76.189.114.163
