Conflict of interest, as this article is written by an account named "Johnmcneely," and the subject does not seem notable. Salad Days 03:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete there is no assertion of particular notability. JCO312 03:48, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:BIO. Notibility not asserted. WP:COI as per nomination.--Dacium 03:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

*keepNotability has been asserted. he has won two awards for teaching, one from a third party, and published 4 or 5 books. That is more than the average number for a professor, and thus may make him notable--especially with the combination. Why say "doesn't assert" when you mean "asserts, but I still dont think its enough".DGG 04:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I see no mention of awards or books in the article, or assertions of notability, are they in his wife's El Paso Times obituary? (the link is dead). Pete.Hurd 04:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • My apologies I was thinking of someone from elsewhere in Texas. There have been too many deletions coming up today for me to keep them straight. DGG 06:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • 'neutral I have not tried to look for sources, and they are not really in the article. I will look again tomorrow.DGG 06:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete NN person, and obvious COI. Article was created by user "Johnmcneely." Rockstar915 07:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • comment Re:COI. Note that the subject of this article, who died in 2003, cannot be the author, but COI issues obviously remain. Pete.Hurd 07:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Note that the article says they had two children including John McNeely, Jr. It's an easy presumption that it was written by his son, the more because he also wrote an article for his mother, Dora Lopez McNeely (listed immediately below). Delete as failing WP:PROF. --Dhartung | Talk 07:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • delete per nom. Chris 08:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, NN and COI per nom. John Vandenberg 12:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No mentioned achievements or lasting works. Nothing to establish notability or influence on a certain field. Plus the article contains rather awkward phrases such as "Roman Religious Art, mostly of Mexican origen". User:Dimadick
