Today's example is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Southampton, Bill Wakeham. Minimal article, but it did say he was V-C. Prodded--by someone from the UK. Maybe it will be on AfD tomorrow. DGG
Well, a look at the similar position for University of Maryland College Park shows that the only substantial articles are on a Civil War general and on Mote, who not surprisingly is the incumbent. There is a common assumption that anyone in a titled position is therefore notable, but the truth is that most of these people are, historically, names on a list.
Quick contextual clarification: the VC is the administrative head of the university, traditionally a senior academic position. The *Chancellor* is the meaningless titular position...
