WP:BIO or WP:BLP notability criteria. Weak notability and no supporting refs. Can some one improve it or should it go? triwbe (talk) 10:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep I added a link to an obituary from her college, plus a link to the Weekly Standard review of her book on Virgil. This book is shown to be in at least 6 [http://isbndb.com/d/book/vergils_empire.html university libraries] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tassedethe (talk • contribs)

  • DeleteWeak Keep According to the obit a gifted teacher, but I am afraid that there is nothing that meets the notability criteria of WP:Academics. Changing vote to weak keep following info found by Nsk92. --Crusio (talk) 17:29, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, although with a bit of trepidation. It is difficult to judge people in humanities since GoogleScholar and WoS are terrible at recording the relevalnt info for these fields. However, a WorldCat search shows that several of her books are widely held in various academic libraries. E.g. her book "Vergil's empire: political thought in the Aeneid" went through 4 editions and is held by at least 213 libraries in North America:[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50560679&referer=brief_results]. Apart from the Weekly Standard review mentioned in the article, I also found this one:[http://www.claremont.org/publications/crb/id.820/article_detail.asp]. Her book with Vladimir Shlyakhov, "Dictionary of Russian slang & colloquial expressions" had 3 editions and is held at 123 libraries[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61162399&referer=brief_results]. Her book "Catullan self-revelation" also went through 3 editions and is held at 58 libraries in north america [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/7272166&referer=brief_results]. GoogleBooks gives 149 hits[http://books.google.com/books?um=1&lr=&q=%22Eve+Adler%22&btnG=Search+Books]. Given that we are talking about humanities and classics, I would count these results as indicative of passing WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 20:30, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Thanks {{User|Nsk92}} this is more than sufficient. I am happy that we can improve the article and I withdraw the AfD. If someone does not agree they can re AfD. --triwbe (talk) 13:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
