Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. red dog six (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete? I spent a few minutes looking through the first reference (given a as cite for the "known for sentence" and did not see Eric Steele mentioned in there. Nor in the quickly available parts of the second references (the article has 2 references).  Based on my initial/superficial check. there's nothing establishing wp:notability.  00:43, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article cites four sources. Three of them don't mention the subject, and the other one wouldn't display on my computer. If he isn't even mentioned in the sources that are supposed to establish his notability, that doesn't speak well for his notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as lacking WP:RS. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The article makes the claim that Steele is a pioneer in "open-ended coaxial-probe technique for characterizing material permittivity", but provides no sources that back up this claim.  I tried Google Books and Scholar to find any evidence of this and turned up nothing. -- Whpq (talk) 14:44, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
