Simply being a professor is not a stock character type like mad scientist or absent-minded professor, it is a fictional job. Therefore this article is unnecessary and List of fictional professors already fills that purpose. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:43, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Delete Per nom. "Professor" is far too general to be a stock character. Search for professor stock character gives results for absent-minded professor stock character, separate concept which has its own article. Hrodvarsson (talk) 20:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom, the only encyclopedic content is already on List of fictional professors. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete I think if there were some references here discussing the concept as notable, then it would save the article, as clearly there is a sort of semi-generic professor character ins shows. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:50, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete Per above. The article's only content as it stands is a duplicate. Acebulf (talk) 03:27, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. 'Professor' is not a 'stock character' as such. DaveApter (talk) 14:58, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete far too general and not notable. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
