[edit] Carl Stevenson

Non-notable, vanity. jredmond 15:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete — the fact that his supposed "magnum opus" is not even detailed leads me to question his notability. Nothing found to back up this page, except a link to a grad. school project. — RJH 15:52, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Dear Sir,

you are clearly of little expertise regarding the matter of ancient Igneous rocks. I suggest you do some homework on the basics of geology before resigning one of its most noteable dignitaries to the description "non-notable".

Yours Professor D. Hutton

• Delete Vanity. He's not even got his PhD yet! Perhaps he'd better wait until he gets atleast a professorship but preferably FRS. Dunc|☺ 16:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable (unless you're obsessive about ancient Igneous rocks). The JPS 22:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete dude, don't call yourself doctor until you have the degree. Big no-no in academia. Vanity. --Etacar11 00:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per tenor of Wikipedia talk:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Academics. Contrary to article's claim, Igneous petrology is the specialty of more than a "few" geologists; many of whom have actually earned standing in their field. Dystopos 02:45, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Whether he is vain or non-notable is a matter open to debate, but Carl Stevenson does have the right to call himself 'Doctor' since he graduated his PhD from the University of Birmingham this summer. Like many websites, the information on the University of Birmingham pages is mostly out of date. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.188.209.61 (talk • contribs) 09:32, 29 July 2005.
