[edit] Speedy delete nomination

Patrick Tierney was a highly significant figure in the controversy surrounding Chagnon's research in the Amazon. If I recall correctly the American Anthropological Association had a special meeting specifically to discuss the charges he made in his book. It was one of the largest anthropological controversies in a decade, in my view. This guy is most certainly notable. WP even has his book on Darkness in El Dorado. --Hansnesse 23:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

It was never speedy deletion material. The VFD procedure should be used instead. Deb 23:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
