Untitled[edit]

Mars G Fontana was a world famous engineer with numerous Wikipedia articles referencing him and buildings named after him among other achievements. This article is thus relevant and needed. GRALISTAIR (talk) 16:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He is referenced on other wikipedia pages such as Corrosion engineering and Ohio State University for example so this page would be useful GRALISTAIR (talk) 22:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments made to make more neutral - this has now been done GRALISTAIR (talk) 20:14, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear I have too heavily relied on an article - currently doing a very heavy rewrite to desperately avoid this being deleted. GRALISTAIR (talk) 21:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because although I may have inadvertently relied heavily on one source I did not cut and paste. I am also in the middle of further very heavy edits and rewrites. Therefore, although the decision may still be to delete it it should at the very minimum be given a chance to be very heavily rewritten and not speedily deleted.--GRALISTAIR (talk) 16:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What can we agree on[edit]

Hopefully we can agree that the person is at least noteworthy as a scientist engineer, 200 papers and a number of books to his name. If we agree on that the wording can be even further modified to make sure there is zero infringement. GRALISTAIR (talk) 21:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
