[edit] Andrew R. Liddle

How notable is this astrophysicist that he requires a page on WP? This looks like a rehash of his homepage, which doesn't sell his notable status either. -- (aeropagitica)  13:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep He is a published author and google turns out many hits. However, much of the article is a verbatim copy of his homepage and should be rewritten. Haakon 13:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I find three books by him available in between four and ten Swedish libraries. One of these, An introduction to modern cosmology, has been published in two editions.[1] A search on Google Scholar shows that his most cited paper has 545 cites, and he has another three with more than 400 cites.[2] Why would he be less notable than any random NHL player?

• Keep as notable. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-03 01:54Z
• Keep per Tupsharru. WP:BIO met if published book with an audience of 5000. Two editions means he's more than likely exceeded that. JLaTondre 03:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Tupsharru. -- jaredwf 06:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
