Talk:John Emsley

Don't delete, sigh...
As usual someone has decided to speedy delete something rather than check notability on the talk page... so, sigh, I have to waste my time writing this defence of the article instead of another page on WP. Sigh. Anyway, the guy's notable - loads of books and a page on the Royal Society's website. And here's an OUP page on a book of his saying he also writes/has written for the Independent (newspaper). Enough? Malick78 (talk) 08:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Not enough. Where are the secondary reliable sources establishing notability? Publishing and even writing in a newspaper is not a measure of notability. Coverage in RS is. I think that if he has won the awards that it says, it does warrant notability under WP:PROF.


 * That said, if you do not want articles tagged as CSD, then organize and source them better before posting them, or perhaps use the handy underconstruction tag. This, I assure you, is much more productive than being uncivil towards editors following the community standards by using the CSD tag.--Cerejota (talk) 08:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If you wanted to question notability - a notability tag would have been appropriate. That's what they're for. Going for a speedy delete was not the right thing to do... And not productive:) Malick78 (talk) 13:16, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It was at the time it was placed. You should be more careful, WP:CITE is not there for show.--Cerejota (talk) 21:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Same Emsley?
Is this the same J. Emsley that wrote:
 * Emsley J 1971, The inorganic chemistry of the non-metals, Methuen Educational, London, p. 1

We cite that work in List of metalloid lists, but it is not mentioned here. -DePiep (talk) 12:16, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
