The result was delete. The opposition to Knight probably is notable, but either can be covered under the Texas Tech Men's Basketball article, or under Knight himself. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 02:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unnotable professor, NYT article is probably notable but fails WP:1E and partly WP:INHERITED. Other references are not notable. prod remove by non-article creator -Zeus-^u_c 01:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete--does not appear to be notable per WP:PROF. Google Scholar produces nothing exciting, just (three) publications by the man himself, which are cited a few times. This Knight letter is not much, and not enough. Drmies (talk) 04:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep Associate professor, with 10 peer reviewed publications in well-known journals in Google Scholar. [1]The NYT article is a major story. He would be borderline notable without it on the basis of his published work,so this is sufficient. DGG (talk) 19:48, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO. Citation impact seems to be low, and no widely held books according to WorldCat. The opposition to the hiring of Bob Knight by Texas Tech generated some media coverage, but not enough to justify inclusion under WP:BIO.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
