 * Delete   searches turned up a handful  of sources  giving more  or less the same info now on the page, in the context of what seems to be postulated atomic warfare in outer space.  The best info I found about him was in page searches of "Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship" on books google, according to which   He was a physicist who left Livermore as part of a group of physicists then forming a new corporation, and, as of the book's pub. date, he was working for Science Applicatons International Corporation (SAIC)E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:41, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now as my searches found nothing good aside from minor coverage at Books, browser and Scholar. SwisterTwister   talk  07:15, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is a Danish physicist M. Scharff (died before 1961) with citation counts 1539, 1451, 565, etc. in Google scholar, which would be a pass of WP:PROF. But I'm pretty sure it's a different person than the subject, because of the different national affiliation. Other than that I see no evidence of passing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:26, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
