I know I've seen some people stating on their userpages something to the effect that if you can produce verification that you are an expert in a field, they will kill an AfD on an article in that field on your word that it is notable.
I'm curious if anyone takes them up on this?

Im curious as to whether that goes against the typical ethic portrayed by [[Wikipedia:Notability]] where things seem to be never notable unless people _outside_ of a field say they are, which would trump everyone interested in a topic, __especially__ experts.
Just to put it in perspective, you have experts on a number of topics, sciences, history, and then there are experts on Star Trek... Why do people distinguish between them? I dunno...
