Recently recreated article, the references that I have access to are basically passing mentions. His relationships to other notable people do not confer notability to the subject. Bringing to AFD for additional input. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * may be of interest. Ucucha 18:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Certainly seems to pass the professor test, specifically, points 1 (a good few references about for that) and 6 (fellow of the Royal Society of London). Merely holding the chair of Professor of Zoology at Edinburgh could well pass points 5/6. J Milburn (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I recreated the article, seems obviously notable to me. See The International Who's Who 2004. I'll expand the article more later. Sasata (talk) 18:45, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Also meets WP:PROF no. 3, in addition to the ones J Milburn listed. He developed a major research organism, is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a full professor. Ucucha 18:48, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn, I'm convinced on the basis of the Royal Society membership, and sorry for wasting everyone's time. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:51, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
