[edit] Erik Bongcam-Rudloff

Was listed as speedy, but I think being the chairman for EMBnet (not a website, but on organization for bioinformatics) should be notable enough for an entry. Would like a second opinion. Keep. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per nom. Dlyons493 13:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep and possibly protect page from vandals trying to delete it. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 15:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete But if EMBnet had an article, then I'd say merge the info into that. If the only notable thing about him is his involvement in an organisation then it's the organisation that is notable, not him. --Spondoolicks 22:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Spondoolicks has a point. I think we do need an article for EMBnet, and when we get one we can merge Erik into it. So, Keep for now. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:09, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: The subject is accomplished and active in an important area of modern science and business. Furthermore, he was newsworthy when in 1992 he survived attempted murder at the hands of John Ausonius. Articles like this can be the seeds that other worthy articles sprout from. The originator and interested editors are encouraged to make a page for the company too. Hu 04:14, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
