Tagged for speedy deletion, however there are a few assertions of (vague) notability in this article. Definitely needs to be wikified, but I'm undecided as to whether the guy's notable enough. Abstain yandman  10:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Satisfies WP:PROF with over 40 years as tenured professor at major university, numerous publications, research awards, patents, textbook. Inkpaduta 15:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, no problem with WP:PROF nor with WP:BIO, written so it conforms WP:V why was it nominated as speedy? Alf photoman 19:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It was speedy nominated by a first day user, whose other contributions were uploading about 10 questionable graphics many to do with K-12 schools. Pranks? --Kevin Murray 21:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, although as the page creator I may be biased, see disclaimer on page discussion, I believe it meets all the criteria for a wikipedia article. If not please let me know where and if my interpretation is wrong --Ottojas 20:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep due to prank speedy nomination of a reasonable article, but could use referencing though --Kevin Murray 21:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions.  -- Pete.Hurd 22:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - definitely passess WP:BIO with so many publications, recognitions (Senior Research Fellow, Guggenheim Fellow, Leaders of the Pack, and ... 4 patents?!? As for the "speedy" part, I believe the following quote from WP:SK is applicable: "The nomination was unquestionably vandalism or disruption and nobody else recommends deleting it".  -- Black Falcon 03:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * speedy keep I am quite relieved to know that it wasn't a regular user who did the speedy. I would just have removed the tag, but there's nothing wrong sending it here if it doubt. DGG 02:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly should not have been marked for "speedy deletion" and thankfully no administrator acted on that.  (jarbarf) 17:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
