[edit] G. P. Wells

The notability of this man seems to be his famous father, which does not warrant an entry. Triviaa 20:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep due to co-authorship of The Science of Life. Article badly needs context and reference to this work though. Not clear if he's done much else notable. Bwithh 21:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete, notability is questionable, and the lack of sources (and potential for sources never to be found on this person) has me slightly worried. Daniel.Bryant 01:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

well, he was a fellow of the royal society, so shouldn't be that hard to find sources e.g. Royal Society bio article Bwithh 16:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Per bwith, sources should not be difficult to find, a good bio of his father would be a good starting place. Catchpole 07:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - with provision of possible revisiting discussion later. Badbilltucker 22:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - This does need work, but knowledge of G. P. Wells would be crucial to a better understanding of his father as a figure in science during the 1920s and 1930s. The Science of Life was a tremendous success, bring many people to interest in science, that more could be written on that work and G. P. Wells's part in it.
