[edit] Robert Lethbridge

Professor fails to qualify as notable. He's made it up the hierarchy, but no indication of coming up with any new ideas or saying anything special. Andjam 15:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep because of the positions he holds/has held. Tyrenius 18:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I say keep him too. first of all he's a nice guy, and second, as a master of a cambridge college and the holder of such distinguished awards, he deserves a place on wikipedia... --131.111.226.61 19:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

IP address comes from Cambridge, has edited Cambridge-related articles. Andjam 03:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - While he does have many papers, I don't see what unique contributions he has that makes him particularly notable. Niceness does not make for notability.Wickethewok 19:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Shouldn't notability be based on what they have done, rather than what titles they have obtained? Andjam 03:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Professor emeritus from the University of London, Master of a Cambridge college - the relevant parts of Academia seems to think he is notable, who am I to disagree? Judging from the Google Books search results, he is a leading Zola scholar. up+land 08:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
