• Weak keep. Being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts is often a sign of notability, and I added bibliographic information about a book he wrote. On the other hand, this seems to have been the only book that he wrote. I wasn't able to find out much about him. A google search for covington site:thersa.org didn't yield any results. He seems to have retired in 1992 according to this reference, which could explain some of the difficulty finding verifiable references. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 06:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, I do see this person asserting some notability, looks notable. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 14:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep A full professor at a major university is about at the threshold for sufficient notability, but I would expect him to be an editor of major journals, to have a long list of publications and textbooks written, to have received awards to have designed important structures, and to have had notable students. The material is probably there, but I expect the editor creating the article just worked from one minimal source.Edison 16:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
