List of geologists
Bdmack78, I'm sorry to have to remove your entry in List of geologists, but lists on Wikipedia have to have inclusion criteria or else Wikipedians start clamoring for the removal of the list. The criterion for this list is that the entries have to be notable. Most geologists in this list already have their own article. If you don't want to create the article, you could establish notability with reliable third-party references. Have a look at the notability criteria for people, in particular the bit about lists of people.

I hope you aren't discouraged by this. Contributing to Wikipedia, you get occasional bumps, but mostly it is a very satisfying activity. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
