[edit] Richard J. Sutcliffe

Non-notable professor at Trinity Western University. Fails pokemon test. Delete. -- Spinboy 16:27, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep — Seems mildly notable. Canadian representative on the board that manages the Modula-2 language standard. Also a sci-fi author. — RJH 18:16, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per RJH. Sdedeo 20:19, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Do we have articles on any of his books? They all seem to be self-published online. Amazon has nothing on him. I would say either Delete or merge with Modula-2. --DavidConrad 20:28, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Please see WP:BIO: "The professor test -- If the individual is more well known and more published than an average college professor, they can and should be included." Merely being a "respectable professor" is not itself grounds for inclusion, any more than "respectable blogger" or "respectable janitor". Barno 23:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable professor of non-notable institution. If being a member of a board or having a book published makes one "notable", then a significant fraction of the developed world's population would be "notable". -- Corvus 16:29, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
