 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Fails to meet notability for academics standard. Published works authored/coauthored by Professor Foskett can be found in a gScholar search, but nothing comes up in the various news and books searches (other than the Wikipedia article in question). The awards listed do not rise to the level of Criterion 2 (in the discussion of the standards for academic notability). There is nothing available to indicate he meets any of the other criteria for notability in his field. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, certainly enough national and international level awards to pass WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 16:24, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — UY Scuti Talk  18:35, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The adequately-documented awards, and Telegraph story centered on him, look like a pass of general notability to me, regardless of whether he also has academic notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
