Non notable. A number of better-known individuals have no bio entry. Freddyboy (talk) 17:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, accomplished but not notable. Only independent coverage is for routine job changes. (Though note that the second sentence of the nomination is a what about x? argument, not considered a strong one for AFD.) --Dhartung | Talk 19:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. She has been on a lot of short lists for University President jobs (some of these documented in the article). Since women are underrepresented in the ranks of University Presidents, I think that makes her notable--she belongs to a pretty small subset of academic administrators.--Anthon.Eff (talk) 19:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This article is a waste of space. If she were world renown that that is one thing. However, she is not. Also, there are a number of female university presidents some of whom have no article here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.72.247 (talk) 21:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The article has several references. I recognize that an administrator doesn't have as much time to do research as a regular academic, but I still expected to find more publications for her, though. Her position is probably a notable one. --Eastmain (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Participants in this discussion may want to review her curriculum vitae at http://www.utm.edu/pdfs/Kaylene_Gebert.pdf --Eastmain (talk) 22:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As it stands, it doesn't appear that she is a leading academician. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I don't see that she has done anything especially notable.GWTI29 (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The coverage in reliable sources would normally be enough to demonstrate notability. --Eastmain (talk) 04:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Being a university president would, in my opinion, automatically indicate notability. Being a provost is somewhat borderline. However, since she has been a provost at two universities, one of fairly large size (Middle Tennessee State University, 23,000 students), I think that qualifies.

- Delete. While Dr. Gebert certainly seems accomplished, I do not see that she rates a bio on Wikipedia. Her bio is prominently displayed at her current institution. Also, the journal articles cited seem a particularly weak argument. First, they are somewhat dated. Second, there are many professors with more journal publications that do not have bios on Wikipedia.TID9786 (talk) 15:45, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
