No reliable secondary sources to establish notability. 1st source self, 2nd and 3rd are faculty directories. aprock (talk) 05:04, 3 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm the creator of the article. Bell is well known in his particular field and is a former tenured full professor at a major university. A quick Google scholar search also shows that his work is well cited by others in the field. I believe he passes criteria 1 and 5 in WP:Scholar. LK (talk) 05:09, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
