• Delete per WP:COI. Article appears to be created by and mainly maintained by the subject himself. I assume this is a good faith mistake and not a blatant vanity page, but it still has to go. If subject is truly notable, the article will be recreated by another editor. Faithlessthewonderboy 09:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Userify I change my vote. Faithlessthewonderboy 22:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or userify. The conflict of interest is not necessarily a problem if the subject is notable and the article factual. However, someone whose PhD was in 2004 would have to have done something special to meet WP:PROF, and this does not appear to be the case here. Google Scholar finds 2 papers & one co-authored book in the name "NE Magee", none of which have any listed citations, so there is no evidence of body of work cited by experts. Technical editor/assistant editor are usually copy-editing roles with no inherent notability; in particular, I don't think he's considered to be on the editorial board of the journal mentioned, per [1]. Userification seems an option here. Espresso Addict 12:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
• Userify because it does seem pretty clear that the principal contributor is also the subject of the article. Erechtheus 15:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
