Autobiography of non-notable academic. GScholar lists 32 publications that have been cited 371 times with an h-index of 11. Of the requirements llisted in WP:ACADEMIC, Ruthmann seems to come closest to meetiing #8, as he has been "editor" (not clear whether this was "editor-in-chief]) of the International Journal of Education & the Arts. Even if he had been the chief editor, however, this is not a "major, well-established academic journal" (it does not appear to meet the requirements of WP:NJournals). He has co-edited two books published by respected publishers (Routledge and OUP), but I have been unable to find book reviews (other than on booksellers' websites), so this also misses WP:NAUTHOR. Of the independent sources, some (like the teachrock.org one) don't even mention the subject. Others (like P2PU) only mention him in-passing. Fails WP:ACADEMIC, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:GNG, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 22:03, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - our general rule for associate professors is that they would have to have published at least one major work. I don't see that. The subject does not quite yet pass "the prof test". Maybe soon. Disclosure: my domestic partner is also an associate professor at NYU. Bearian (talk) 13:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not enough here to show that Ruthmann is notable. This does not pass our rules for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:49, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
