Fair use rationale for Image:Logo nmu.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo nmu.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 20:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Philip J. Prygoski

The article Philip J. Prygoski has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mr. Prygoski is no more notable than thousands of law professors (and students) who regularly have law review articles accepted or than hundreds of law professors who have been regarded as good teachers; the law reviews he wrote for were not for ‘top of the line’ reviews like Yale’s, Harvard’s, et al.; his law review articles do not appear highly cited; he has not apparently developed a significant new concept or idea regarding constitutional law; his “Sum and Substance: Constitutional Law” just assimilates the essentials of a constitutional law course, it is neither considered a necessary nor required tool for students, nor a treatise, nor even a hornbook (and is now in it’s 11th production only in audio form, productions after his 4th edition in 1998 were by various authors); he was a long-time faculty member of Western Michigan University Cooley Law School that “has been repeatedly characterized as ‘the worst law school in America’”, and even there he was not a “chaired” professor; we can find no sources that reflect any view at all that he was a well known, excellent, unusual, or notable scholar in his field, though there is indication that he was a respected teacher and recognized as such, as many law professors are; other than school teaching awards, he has neither received any significant well-known award or honor, nor has been nominated for such an award; he is not widely recognized for any contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in constitutional law; we could find no entry for him in any U.S. standard national biographical dictionary; we could find no source confirming that he was known for his academic achievements; we found no substantial or notable scholarly research or if he was known for such research; apparently he has not made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions; he doesn’t pass the "Average Professor Test": when judged against the average impact of law professors he doesn’t stand out as clearly as more notable or more accomplished; his school biography reads that “many [of his law review articles] have been cited in major treatises and casebooks” but there is no independent, reliable source that informs what constitutes “major” or which treatises and casebooks are involved; even if so, many law professors are cited; he is not notable in some other way under the general notability guideline or one of the other subject-specific notability guidelines; he does not appear successful in influencing others with any particular scholarly positions; he has not been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal; he was possibly (could not find a source - no confirmation) a member of the American Law Institute but, even if a member, its total membership is more than 4,200 and membership alone does not meet other requirements; apparently the article cannot be improved from its present content; however, I will contact the article author and, perhaps, the author can provide well-source notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
