574:. He has a respectable list of articles published in refereeed journals, and a good history of funded research. However, his department head praising him in the aftermath must be taken as a eulogy rather than an objective independent evaluation, and he had only achieved Associate Professor status. When he was murdered in mid-career he had a very bright future.
551:
This nomination does appear to be in good faith. Let's try to be civil here. I realize that this country has had a particular brutal couple of days and that it's very easy to get emotional, but let's try to keep a cool head. Again, I suggest very strongly that this AfD be closed early, as the AfD

I agree with the above sentiments of
Anthony. I've seen many professors that are very notable and don't have an article. There are many profs that meet the notability test that Knowledge (XXG) does not have articles on. I've created articles on some of these, but there are many that are
233:
The article does not have cited references asserting his notability. Without that, he is only known for being a shooting victim. This is not enough to justify an entire article, only mention in a list of victims for the shooting.
526:
The research is up to the people adding content in, it has nothing to do with respect. If you want to put something in there you need to support why it should be in there. It is not up to all of us to be your fact checker.

unrepresented. Sure, he wouldn't have had an article yet if he hadn't been so tragically killed. But he probably would have had an article eventually. ETA: He had 67 publications in journals according to his own site

seems relevant enough to warrant keeping the
Granata article on Knowledge (XXG). Furthermore, as the editor of multiple academic journals, one day this article will link into other articles.
695:- unbelievable request. One of the Top-Scientists of his profession in the USA, a Professor. Dear en:WP - as long as TV-Episodes get their own article, should a professor get his article.

341:"There wouldn't have been an article about him had he not died" is just a testament to how sucky Knowledge (XXG) is on dealing of people who have little pop-culture appeal.--

due to obvious consensus. Given the current visibility of articles related to the shooting, keeping this AfD open any longer isn't going to do any good.
795:
yes WP:Not a memorial... but this professor was notable BEFORE his death... his death in this manner just adds more publicity/attention to him.

Similar to other articles about people who were killed in this horrible event, he is only notable for his death.
