Alison Mawhinney

Non-notable academic. No evidence is presented that this academic rises above others of her discipline or specialty. Article mentions that she has presented a paper at a symposium and published an article, but there's nothing inherently notable about either, no was any notable action taken as a result of either. This seems like a bit of a vanity article, though I'm far from certain that's the case. Relevant Google hits are few, and Google Scholar returns are also few and not particularly noteworthy.

PLEASE KEEP: As the creator of this article I am obviously biased, but I would like to say that Dr. Mawhinney is not a "non-notable academic", any more than Brice Dickson, whose article page is minute in comparison to Dr. Mawhinney's, is non-notable. Mawhinney has done more than "presented a paper at a symposium and published an article". She began lecturing at the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast (QUB) in 2006. She maintains direct communications and gives her advice and counsel to the Chief Commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission as well as the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion, submitting reports regarding freedom of religion, children's rights, denominational schooling as well as interdenominational & non-denominational schooling, demography, and other important topics.

- Note: I've nominated Brice Dickson for deletion, thanks to Rotund's heads-up. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:39, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am sure this academic will someday qualify for an article, but she doesn't pass PROF muster yet unless there's more relevant data about her accomplishments that has yet to be included. Townlake (talk) 01:51, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
