Hi Theroadislong, Last week I began working on the article for the current president of Saint Anselm, and it appears that the discussion has resulted in the possible deletion of Fr. DeFelice's article. I welcome the opportunity to update this article to correct the errors to meet the guidelines, and of course the article received approval when it was first launched - the author is no longer with the college - I recognize some bio content was not cited/cited correctly, so I made edits today to improve these and add notable content. An equivalent article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_P._Leahy, which was marked "This biographical article needs additional citations for verification." and not marked for deletion. Thank you in advance for your comments and the opportunity for further review and discussion. Best, 184.75.195.194 (talk) 15:32, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello: Today I noticed a new message posted on this article: "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline...." Is it possible to provide some feedback on the yesterday's revisions: content edited; citations that had been removed from the internet were fixed; and citations added - all supporting notability, and in general college presidents are considered notable and have separate articles across Wiki. Thanks in advance! 184.75.195.194 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:47, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi: Update. In the new message I followed the links to find more citations and added a bunch from the 'newspaper' link. I'll check 'news' tomorrow, but if you could please let me know if there's enough citations to remove the deletion and/or it's moving in the right direction, that would be helpful! Thanks!

• Redirect to Saint Anselm College. No independent notability from the college to sustain a separate article. Cavarrone 09:47, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Cavarrone, Might you be able to share what is the criteria of notability for a college president? I've been adding citations that demonstrate notability/Defelice is a significant public figure in New Hampshire, the longest standing president in the state, and someone who has made a positive contribution within the community. Other college presidents have separate articles on Wiki, which is why I ask about the criteria. Thanks for your time and feedback. Dyan at SAC (talk) 14:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Northamerica1000, Thank you for this opportunity for further discussion. As noted in the last comment to Cavarrone, college presidents are notable and there are a several with separate articles on Wiki; short list below are peers of Jonathan DeFelice.

Agree with Dylan at SAC and the other users on this page that are against the deletion. As the founder of this wikipedia page, I support it's continued existence... --Ericci8996 (talk) 03:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep'Strictly according to WP:PROF, it's only presidents of "major" academic institutions that are presumed notable, but in practice we have for many years been accepting the presidency of almost any university or 4-yr college (in the US system; equivalents elsewhere). There have been a few very minor ones that haven't made it, but St Anselm's is fully important enough. DGG ( talk ) 05:43, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
