Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. Accomplishments seem to be on par with any other non-notable professor in his position with his schooling. Dismas|^(talk) 22:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• Delete - Person doesn't seem notable. Article is completely without wikilinks or proper structure. The (two) sources seem to be self-published. Personal information is included, which makes it look like more like a classified ad than a Wikipedia article. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 23:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• Very weak keep - if there's a pony under all the autobiographical horseshit. What awards? Is this a named chair at a named school? Does he (minimally) meet :WP:PROF? --Orange Mike | Talk 01:31, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

• Comment - After a quick check through GScholar and discounting the publications quite clearly belonging to a quite different D.A. Collier, I seem to be coming up with an h-index of a bit above 20, the relevant publications being a mixture of single-authored and co-authored ones. Quite a few of these date back to the 1980s and some seem to be books. I'm not at all sure whether this is high enough to constitute notability in this field and will leave it to others to decide and/or dig deeper if they choose.

• Comment The FGCU business school has about 7 named or distinguished professorships/chairs, so he holds a senior position but perhaps not the most senior. I could only find 2 reviews of his books via scholarly searches Interfaces[http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/6686856/service-management-operating-decisions-book]. Marketing News[http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/19261437/service-management-operating-decisions] but he's also cited by literature reviews such as[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969698910000615][http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=851543&show=abstract][http://jom.sagepub.com/content/15/2/181.refs]. He seems focused on academic publication rather than the more popular works that get coverage in the mainstream business press. It does need a rewrite, but keeping is a possibility. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:32, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
• information This article was created by an s.p.a., User:Dcollierfgcu; the account has been blocked indefinitely because this username is apparently an impersonation of Collier, who has denied (in an e-mail to this admin from his official FGCU account) any connection with this account or article. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• Comment It's hard to tell whether or not this deserves to keep - the material may already be there, but it's written in a way which makes it hard to discern. Can someone who knows more about this person write it more clearly, to explain why he's notable?Chriscook54321 (talk) 09:38, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
• Delete claims of notability must rest on independent, reliable sources. There are simply none here. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:02, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
