[edit] Richard J. Cook

Being president of a few private colleges doesn't convey notability in my view. Catchpole 15:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Cook played a key role in an historic change in the culture of Kalamazoo College through his role in the 1999 restructuring of Weimer Hicks's K-Plan. After he left, he went on to become the president of another college and seems to be playing a notable role there, although I am one not most qualified to document this (which is why the article is just a stub for now). He certainly has had a more notable impact on several institutions than the average college professor.K95 21:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn't look very notable. No claim of notability made for him as a chemist and now head of a small college, after being head of an even smaller college. -- Necrothesp 23:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The president of a college is more notable than the average professor. --Metropolitan90 04:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. He survives the notability test. SliceNYC 20:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Metropolitan90, being president of a college or colleges is notable. Yamaguchi先生 08:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
