 * Keep and develop. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep as he seems to meet WP:PROF by which seems applicable here. Nomination is too brief. JJL (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Remark I do not see how a press release by an advocacy organization satisfies the requirements of WP:PROF. In fact, his academic contributions appear to be minimal and primarily in the context of policy advocacy. If the contents of his resume can be verified, he may meet general WP:BIO standards as a policy adviser, or possibly as the author of a notable book if his book is indeed notable.

 * Neutral He doesn't seem to have done much work, or been cited that much, but if he does write a lot of articles in the popular press, then an article seems appropriate. II  | (t - c) 04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lowry is quite well-known and he won a Nuclear-Free Future Award in 2001 . Johnfos (talk) 04:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. A search on a few academic databases suggests that he does not seem to have enough to qualify as notable specifically under WP:PROF; but he seems to have enough independent media coverage to qualify as notable under WP:BIO. Also, the Nuclear-Free Future Award that he received seems notable, although his category, Special Recognition, does not carry a monetary award (other categories give $10,000).--Eric Yurken (talk) 16:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
