The whole of its content was just:
"Matti Häyry is Professor of Bioethics and Philosophy of Law at the University of Manchester. He studied philosophy and ethics in Helsinki, Finland, and he is Adjunct Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki."
Where's the assertion of notability? Being a fellow with a job which you went to school for is not in itself notable to the world at large, even if that job is being professor at a prominent university. What *is* an assertion of notability? Perhaps that's what needs to be clarified. To me, an assertion of notability would be a statement about something this fellow has *done*, not the job he happens to hold. Unless that job is in itself notable, which I suppose is where you and I probably differ on this (I don't think that being a professor is in-and-of-itself notable, but that might be because everyone I spend time around is planning on being a professor somewhere or another, eventually).

It was tagged as a speedy, under A7, but there is an assertion of notability. We need better wording for the speedy policy page.
