last paragraph[edit]

"Kirkpatrick also identified and named the mollusc Pickworthia kirkpatricki Iredale, 1917 (now in the genus Sansonia Jousseaume, 1892)."

The above doesn't make sense. Pickworthia kirkpatricki Iredale, 1917 would be a species named by Iredale, in honour of Kirkpatrick. Species are often named after their discoverers, so it is plausible the Kirkpatrick discovered/identified it. Lavateraguy (talk) 11:42, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On notability[edit]

Subject is noted as contributor/author on 4 books and several papers in the catalogue of the Natural History Museum, London (NHM) (See https://nhm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=44NHM_INST:44NHM_V1&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&mode=basic&displayMode=full&bulkSize=10&highlight=true&dum=true&query=any,contains,Randolph%20Kirkpatrick&displayField=all&pcAvailabiltyMode=true); and Nature published his obituary. (see https://www.nature.com/articles/165669b0.pdf) His work at NHM means that his name appears attached to the (now obsolete) formal names of several species (eg Aaptos nuda (Kirkpatrick, 1903)) Copies of some correspondence to him by researchers is held by the National Library of Australia. (See:https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-1126190271/findingaid#bibliography)
So while his field of expertise is certainly esoteric, I feel that he meets notability. Wayne 02:26, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
