Seems doubtful to me that this biographical entry is right for Wikipedia. Most academics have publications, but lack the notoriety that would warrant an entry here. Wikipedia isn't the white pages.
Irwin is a very prominent scholar in his field--although it's certainly true that scholars in the field of classical philosophy generally lack broader notoriety. It seems appropriate to me to have an article, although it would be nice if there were some actual content here.—Precedingunsigned comment added by96.237.78.184 (talk)07:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
