List of publications in chemistry
Thank you for your addition to this list. We agreed guidelines earlier in the year that means every new entry is debated whether it should be retained or deleted. This draws the addition of others to the new entry and ensures some consensus and hence helps to ensure that the list is notable and not a random set of POV entries. The debate is on the talk page of the article and will close on May 23rd. I've started it off with voting "keep", although I am not an organic chemist. --Bduke 22:39, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Heinrich Hubert Maria Josef Houben
Hi, and thanks for your contribution! When you create a new article, you should make sure the article includes the significant facts which certify the subject's importance. Otherwise, a person coming across the article might delete it for lack of context, or lack of notability, forcing you to start over. In the case of Houben, the factor that makes him important is his career as a scientist and chemist, not his time and place of birth. In this case, I have made a quick expansion, but since I know virtually nothing about the subject matter, I may have made some mistakes. If you could look over the article (or better yet, improve it further!), that would be great! Best wishes, Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
