William Curry (geophysicist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Potentially common name, but long-term unsourced BLP, some publication record that I can find but very few references in Gscholar, enough to make me think WP:PROF#1 doesn't have a hope of being met unless I'm missing the right papers. There's a climate-related scientist of the same name, but who appears to be a different person. No in-depth coverage I could find in reliable, independent sources. joe deckertalk to me 06:11, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Recent graduate (2008) with no particular big impact. Apparently no secondary RSes. Vanity page?TR 08:00, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: unable to find any coverage in reliable sources to verify the contents of this unsourced BLP. Even if fully sourced I do not believe that the subject's accomplishments would meet our notability requirements. A word of caution...searching "William Curry" geophysicist in Google news archive leads to several articles but apparently about a different individual. J04n(talk page) 14:28, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fail WP:ACADEMIC, as best as I can tell. Qrsdogg (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing of relevance in GoogleScholar/GoogleBooks and no other evidence of passing WP:PROF or WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 14:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
