Questionable notibility and no references. I tried to find some info on google but I didnt come across anything. Nothing about him was available on the university website either. 99DBSIMLR 17:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I am unable to locate any journal articles authored by Dr. Baron. —dustmite 22:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability might be sufficient if there was something to back it up. Unschool 04:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not on the website--but then I notice the article doesn't claim he's on the faculty, just that he's teaching there. Not listed in Dissertation abstracts. I cannot see why anyone would have invented such an unexciting article. The original version of the article was in 2004 it's a little different: "Dr. Randall Baron is the researcher responsible for conducting the first research projects into the use of cryogenics... Originally tied to Louisana Tech University, the current whereabouts of Dr. Baron are unknown"  The current  article refers to Cryotech, now 300Below; their website says: "Even the research upon which the industry was founded, performed by Dr. Randall Baron of Louisiana Tech University, was funded by 300 Below." (they do things like strengthen gunbarrels--the effectiveness is disputed) There's an 05 blog posting "Randal Baron of LA Tech is non existent in all patent and scientific journals I conducted today." I double-checked in Engineering Index--no Baron,R.  no Baron & Cyrogenics. I've written to the company for references. (to use with respect to the Cryotech article.)  Perfect confidence in deleting this article. At least I can see the reason for inventing him.  DGG 05:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
