what to do about it

The page you have edited on Prof. Thorpe, has been listed for immediate deletion. I have removed the deletion tag, which stops the process for the moment. He seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:

looking like an encyclopedia article saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is an internationally-known professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates", or A.B. is a notable authority on Whatever. She is ... (etc) (whatever applies best). Use the exact wording I recommend, including either the word "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what many people look for here.

listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets listing important awards listing important memberships and offices held . listing some major published papers, say how many total. Do not just link to Google, list the most prestigious papers. State the importance the journals are. Say how many other papers cited them. Use PubMed, not Google or Google Scholar. --Pub Med covers this field better. and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one and in fact is badly needed here , but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very unfortunately, some prejudice against people from the academic world. I apologize for not having the time to help more personally. --DGG 07:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
