Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Sherwin
as subject fails GNG and  as there just isn't sourcing attesting to his notability anywhere, including the academic world. That he has some published works is par for the course for academics and does not make him notable on Wikipedia. There're no independent sources talking about how he's done groundbreaking research (I know the memorial thing exists but that's a personal memorial, not an academic RS discussing his contributions). I realize the subject was a Wikipedia editor and that those !voting keep above were wikifriends with this editor and contributed to this article but being a Wikipedia editor doesn't make the subject notable, either. Perhaps someone could publish this memorial page on a blog; given , it does not belong in Wikipedia
