[edit] Bryan Gaensler

An anon insists that this entry is autobiographical--I originally thought his afd was vandalism or a joke, but he persists (though doesn't seem to know how to complete the nomination process)...I disagree. The subject is notable, I see no reason this should be deleted. Speedy keep Etacar11 11:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

More assumption of good faith is in order. Editors without accounts cannot complete an AFD nomination, because they cannot create the discussion page. The main AFD page does explain this. Uncle G 12:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I realized that after I made this page. Sorry. But I do stand by my speedy keep. --Etacar11 12:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep, subject seems notable altho doing your own page is gauche. --Dhartung | Talk 12:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm not convinced Gaensler did, myself...--Etacar11 12:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

        • Um, as an astronomer myself who's done SNR research work, that doesn't convince me in the least.  :) But it's a moot point, since (in my view, anyway) if a person's notable, it doesn't matter who wrote the article, as long as the ARTICLE ITSELF is NPOV/encyclopedic/etc. --Etacar11 12:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Definitely some assertions of notability that would satisfy WP:BIO, but a serious dearth of sufficient sources. Hopefully will be expanded over time. --Satori Son 05:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
