This article is not about the article title. Instead, it is about a theory in astrophysics that the subject has co-written. The author of this article has a troubled relationship with the community (see the user's talk page). Richard Cavell (talk) 22:01, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. None actual biographical information or sources independent from the subject. He does seem to exist so if anyone feels like it, we could redirect Stanley Robinson to MECOs. - Mgm|(talk) 10:44, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Stanley Robertson. I don't doubt that he exists. - Richard Cavell (talk) 21:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete First, his actual name is Stanley L. Robertson, and one is much more likely to find information under the full professional name. I don't care the least about the relationships with the WP community in this context. I don't care that much about the present quality of the article. I care about the notability of the subject, and that is to be judged by his published work. He is the author of 9 scientific papers in the ADS database. . But using Scopus to eliminate name ambiguities, I find 8 papers in Astrophysics from him at Department of Physics, Southwestern Oklahoma State University--the most cited one has 19 citations. I also find 7 earlier papers from him in chemical physics at University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, with very low citations. I assume they are the same person. In any case, this is not enough to be notable.  DGG (talk) 00:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * merge/redirect to Magnetospheric eternally collapsing object which is notable. JoshuaZ (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, per DGG's research. Does not pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 04:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A Google Scholar search does not turn up much in terms of citation impact either.--Eric Yurken (talk) 14:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
