Draft:Paul Pangaro
| Submission declined on 11 November 2024 by Ldm1954 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

| Submission declined on 19 October 2024 by Jamiebuba (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Jamiebuba 53 days ago. | |
Comment: With his weak Google Scholar publication record it is hard to justify him as notable. Does he have major awards, these matter. Also, please remove all the bragging (WP:PEACOCK), that is not allowed. For instance terms like "significant contributions", "influential" and similar. Last, unreferenced blogs are not reliable sources, for instance the both 6 & 7 and maybe others. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Thanks for the comments. I based the content from the pages I referenced. I’ll see where to improve. In the talk page I asked for feedback as I thought I followed the guidelines and tried to be neutral. Thank you. ~~~

Paul Pangaro is an American designer, technologist, and educator known for his work in cybernetics, conversation theory, and human-computer interaction. He is the current president of American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) and was past trustee.[1] Pangaro has made significant contributions to the fields of interaction design and organizational strategy.
He is a Professor of Practice in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Before that he was an Associate Professor and Chair of the MFA Interaction Design program at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit (2010–2015). He was also a lecturer at Stanford University (1988–2000). Besides academia, he had technology director roles at Idealab, London (2000–2001) and Sun Microsystems (1987–1997).
Early Life and Education
[edit]Paul Pangaro was born in 1950 in Massachusetts, USA. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Humanities from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1972. Pangaro later earned his Ph.D. in Cybernetics from Brunel University in London, where he studied under Gordon Pask, a pioneer in cybernetics and conversation theory.[2][3][4]
Contributions to Cybernetics and Design
[edit]Pangaro has been a significant contributor to the field of cybernetics, particularly in its application to design and human-computer interaction. His work often focuses on the concept of "conversation" as a fundamental process for design, problem-solving, and organizational change.[5]
Some of his key ideas include:
- The application of cybernetic principles to interaction design[6]
- The use of conversation theory in designing digital systems and organizational processes[7]
- The concept of "designing for conversation" in user interfaces and experiences[8][9]
Pangaro's work has been influential in bridging the gap between cybernetics theory and practical applications in design and technology. He has been recognized for his contributions to the field:
- Served as the president of the American Society for Cybernetics (since 2021)
- Recipient of the Norbert Wiener Award for Cybernetics (2022)
