[edit] Brian Swimme

Borderline speedy but could be interpreted as a claim to notability. Nevertheless seems non-notable. Agentsoo 20:06, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, has written some 10 books [1] and is on documentaries. Also this is stated in the article. feydey 20:24, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep A search on Amazon.com validates Feydey's claim. The article itself, however, needs to be rewritten as it appears to be lifted from Mr. Swimme's bio page at {whatever that university is he works at}. --Bayyoc 20:42, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Did the rewriting. feydey 21:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and rewrite/expand. --Alan Au 20:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable and has published a variety of books. --Neigel von Teighen 20:47, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He appears to be notable enough for someone to want to look him up. Thanks to feydey for rewriting. Hopefully someone can expand beyond Swimme's own bio blurb and booklist. DS1953 23:30, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Feydey's rewrite - well done. Notable academic with a number of published works. Capitalistroadster 00:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as long as he isn't published by a vanity press... --Etacar11 02:01, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He is a significant figure; I've added mention and links for more of his work. JimR 11:56, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
