[edit] Gerald Meyer

not notable, vanity Avalon 02:46, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, okay. Croat Canuck 03:37, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. He is head of a research group at a world renowned research university, Johns Hopkins. I will gladly change my vote if someone in his field, inorganic chemistry, determines he in not notable per WP:BIO. Movementarian 06:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Has two patents to his credit. Capitalistroadster 06:31, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Movementarian. We should not have higher bars for notability for academics than for sportspeople. u p p l a n d 09:16, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep apparently passes the "professor test" per WP:BIO. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:11, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Movementarian and Just zis Guy, you know?. peachlette 21:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Movementarian, appears to meet WP:BIO notability criteria. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 22:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Professor at world-famous university with 2 patents is notable enough for me. If he's head of the group, it really needs to be in the article. - Mgm|(talk) 00:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just another professor. One hit from Google Books, 53 from Google Scholar. And two patents is nothing: a friend of mine has his name on five, and there's no way he's getting an article, despite working at two "world-famous" corporations. --Calton | Talk 00:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Was he a manager at either of these corporations? Because that's pretty much the corporate counterpart of a professor. - Mgm|(talk) 11:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • keep and please try to change our systemic bias Yuckfoo 01:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Borderline, based on assertions in article, but just notable enough for me. -- DS1953 05:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
