Individual lacks notability. Fails WP:BIO X MarX the Spot (talk) 12:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - of course he's notable - he's a Fellow of the Royal Society and you can't get much more notable than that as a scientist. 14:13, 21 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyjsmith (talk • contribs)

 * Keep Being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society is a clear indication of notability, per Notability (academics) which actually uses FRS as an example. I have added a citation from the RS confirming his fellowship. Maralia (talk) 17:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. FRS, what more do you want? Why was this even nominated? --Crusio (talk) 20:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) not just is it odd that it was nominated, but, even worse, it was previously nominated for speedy deletion (by someone else) although it included the FRS, and, what is much worse, actually speedy deleted by an administrator. DGG (talk) 22:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
