Talk:Debora Shuger

message: I'm not really sure what the best course of action is, but the entire page reads somewhat like a personal webpage. It looks as if the primary contributor to this page is her domestic partner, Russ Abbot, under the name RussAbbott. Her inclusion elsewhere appears to be primarily in lists of 'famous' people from certain areas or institutions. Thoughts? I've left a note on RussAbbott's page. At the very least the article could use a significantly narrower focus. CDills 18:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Not notable?

message: Hello, Russ Abbott.  The article needs references from newspaper articles and university websites, you know, third-party sources.  Also, the links to outside websites, embedded in the text, need to come out, e.g. Scott Shuger linking to his webpage.  Perhaps you can turn them into references.  Thanks.  --Kenatipo  speak! 15:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this article on a cleanup backlog. I moved the external links into references, deleting some of the links to personal pages. Hope this helps - I'm removing the linkrot tag. Some of the family info probably needs to be deleted. Kjtobo (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yo, Russ! 

message: To Whom It May Concern:
Professor Shuger meets at least two, if not three, of the eight criteria for notability as an academic. She is a distinguished professor by title, she has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and she has produced an important body of work that has made a significant contribution to her field. Thus, she has every right to a Wikipedia page.
Based on some conversations that I have had with Wikipedia editors, it would seem that Wikipedia editors are not qualified to judge who is notable in the academy. Thus we defer to the guidelines. Also, there is a dirth of entries on important humanities scholars (probably because editors like the aforementioned insist on deleting their pages because they are more familiar with mathematicians and computer scientists!)
