procedural nomination Article found as an expired PROD though it had previously been considered here. PROD nominator states: Doesn't seem to meet WP:PROF standards, nor is it demonstrated that his political activities are notable. Delete. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 01:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep: I've added a couple of tags to the article. Seems to be even more notable now than he was before, at least talking about the books that he wrote. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, Google Scholar indicates his papers are often cited hundreds of times. He was on a major USG task force almost 20 years ago. The article doesn't even mention his business career. According to this in 1972 his posited theorem construct replaced one that had been the standard in the field. He certainly meets the "major contributions recognized by his peers" standard and definitely deserves a better article. --Dhartung | Talk 08:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep GS shows dozen ofarticle, included multiple ones in PNAS and Nature, with many hundreds of citations each. Not necessary to even look in Web of Science for this one. Citations by 690 artoc;es fpr an article, with many others of over 200, is quite sufficient. Some of the notable papers should be added to the article. This could have been easily checked before the nom. --I suggest a Snow keep on this one. DGG (talk) 08:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
