Proposed deletion of Barry B. Hughes


The article Barry B. Hughes has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The notability of the Hughes model, or that of its author, is not asserted here.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I think he is clearly notable under WP:PROF, but you need to improve the article. a good place to start learning our stule is    our guide to writing Wikipedia articles.

First, give the basic information--the source should be the CV-- birthplace and date, degrees, previous positions. If there are published books, list them in formal bibliographic style. List the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science or Scopus. Include major national level offices and awards, but not minor ones. Be sure to list editorships (but not mere editorial board membership) --we consider it very important, and you should add it to the articles for the relevant journals also, with a link to the bio. These citation figures are critical--if you need help, ask any college librarian.

If the person has any notable students who would qualify for Wikipedia bios, include them. Their PhD & postdoctoral advisors probably also qualify for bios here; add them and link them, even if they do not yet have articles.

It is not necessary to cite the basic information in detail to other than the official CV. However, give any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. For any part you quote directly from a published bio, include quotation marks and a reference.

Pay particular attention to the way we make links to other Wikipedia articles. Avoid WP:Peacock terms.

If I can help you with any of this, let me know on my talk page.

Additionally, you will need to make some improvements in the International Futures article. I did a preliminary cleanup, but what is needed is references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases). This will somewhat overlap with what you need to find for the bio. The routine features of the model can be documented from  its own publications, but not the notability. You need outside references.  DGG ( talk ) 01:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

References for Barry B. Hughes
Thanks for contributing new article Barry B. Hughes. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources.
