Speedy Delete Although the original nominator's argument must be tossed out due to WP:JNN, he is correct in stating that the article is not notable. The article is written like a list of all books that he has worked on and grossly violates Wikipedia policy.155blue (talk) 15:04, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

  • Comment. The current article provides little, but Google searches suggest that, as the article states, Crowe is recognized for his work on Oskar Schindler[https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&hs=hxZ&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&biw=1344&bih=651&tbs=ar%3A1&tbm=nws&q=david+crowe+schindler&oq=david+crowe+schindler&gs_l=serp.3...13301.16299.0.16532.21.16.4.0.0.0.216.1741.6j9j1.16.0....0...1c.1.23.serp..21.0.0.L5ZIsv5PpLk] and other Holocaust-related issues. Here he is in The New York Times [http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/24/books/24schi.html?_r=0] and The Guardian[http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/25/germany.film], and here he is quoted in a recent news story [http://news92fm.com/370710/schindlers-list-receives-zero-bids-on-ebay/]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:34, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Keep and speedy close. Quite plainly the supporters of deletion have made no significant effort to assess the actual notability of the article subject (see, eg, http://www.elon.edu/e-web/law/faculty/crowe_david.xhtml) but instead are whaling away at a new article nominated here only minutes after its creation.

  • Snow Keep. His [http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=affiliate&ai=Washington_cmanton&q=David+M.+Crowe&wcsbtn2w.x=24&wcsbtn2w.y=11 book holdings], as quantified by WorldCat, are hefty: 1695, 1009, 744, 535, ..., which far exceeds the WP:PROF c1 guideline. Article may not be very well written at the moment, but notability of subject is conclusive. Please WP:BEFORE. Best, Agricola44 (talk) 15:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC).
  • Strong/Speedy Keep -- Agricola's noting of WorldCat book holdings is important. This is way beyond the norm for WP:PROF. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 14:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
