[edit] Dr William H. Bassichis
Article does not meet notability criteria --Blueag9 (Talk) 09:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. The teaching award seems to indicate notability, in part because of its cash value. I am not sure how widely used the textbook series is, and I note that the publishing company is (like TAMU) located in College Station, Texas. If the article is kept, it should be moved to William Bassichis --Eastmain 13:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This article surprised me a little, because it did not mention research, and Texas A&M is not likely to extend tenure to physics professors without research accomplishments, no matter how excellent their teaching. (Those who only do teaching at research universities usually stay as Instructors). So I checked Web of Science, and added the most cited 5 of his 51 papers. The most recent was in 1982. He is obvious a senior man, with his research behind him, his status achieved, who has for several decades been concentrating on teaching. Some faculty do that, to the great benefit on the undergraduates. I think he's notable for the combination. DGG 08:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
