Another professor. Professor notability guidelines: has papers of his in books, but that falls short of actually writing a book. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. As I implied in the "Carolyn Crouch" VFD entry, a handful of publications is practically a requirement for university professors, most of whom aren't typically considered notable enough for WQ articles. However, I might be persuaded if the existing quote is sourced (maybe from one of the publications cited on the Self-Determination Theory website?), more quotes are added, and (especially) a Wikipedia article is created that the WP crowd finds notable enough to retain. If this last step is in progress, I'd be willing to extend the vote a few weeks to see how things pan out. (But article promoters should expect me to nominate the WP article for AFD [articles for deletion] to encourage WP editors to consider the matter thoughtfully, so the other evidence is highly recommended.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
