Has been tagged with notability tag since April 2007. Not clearly notable under Wikipedia:Notability (academics). No sources referenced. Snocrates 03:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Reads like a resume and created by a borderline SPA, but based on a Google search, it looks like he is quite notable. Plenty of sources can be found, tag it as needing clean up and refs. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 04:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment (nominator) Just to reiterate/clarify, my concern was not the lack of google hits he generates but whether he meets Wikipedia:Notability (academics) or not. Snocrates 04:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It looks like he meets WP:N by having multiple reliabe sources from which to write an article. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 04:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- [1] here is an example of source that points towards notability. It took about 10 seconds to find and it looks like there are plenty more. It looks like he actually is fairly prominent in the aero industry. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 04:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Lot of reliable secondary sources talk about him and he is definitely notable - ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 09:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Nomination for deletion on the basis of being unimproved & unreferenced are not the way to go about it. one is supposed to first try to improve the article--or check at least that there are no obvious sources. Deletion is the last resort only. DGG (talk) 05:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment (nominator) : My apologies, it's one of my first actions on AfD. I'll become more familiar with the entire process. I'm willing to withdraw the nomination since I didn't do very good "due diligence" work pre-nomination. Snocrates 23:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
