Doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO or WP:ACADEMIC NW ( Talk ) 03:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears to meet those requirements, provided that someone bothers to update the article to detail his notability, as confirmed in Google Books . Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 01:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly fails WP:PROF. The googlebooks search linked by User:Regent of the Seatopians above, once inspected carefully, does not indicate any evidence of significant academic impact. GoogleScholar citability results are paltry, with h-index in single digits and the highest cited paper with only 21 citations. No significant academic awards or honors mentioned anywhere (I did check his webpage at Grinnell and did a bit of google-searching), and nothing else to show passing WP:PROF.

 * Delete as per Nsk92 with GS h index = 3. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete I got an h-index of 7 or so (link to gscholar search), but still not significant in the context of the field. Fails WP:BIO and WP:PROF. Ray  Talk 01:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's W B Case. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC).
 * I see. My bad. Thanks for the catch.  Ray  Talk 14:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
