The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Keep. A fellowship at a British university is quite difficult to obtain. This guy is at University of Southampton, one of the top ten research universities in the UK, and he holds several patents. This article is not a deletion candidate. It's a bit hagiographic and would benefit from being cleaned up to encyclopedic standards. --Tony Sidaway 22:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Parker

a short Google search didn't turn up any evidence that he is notable-- ugen64 21:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete -- doesn't seem notable, also reads like an advert. -- MrDolomite 21:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's a bio, not an advert, and while he may not be the most famous person ever, Wired did use him in part of an article - http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,65642,00.html PresN 21:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete there are many, many young professors doing interesting research in many fields throughout the world. This is just one. Altough there is a certain distingoushing feature to being a Ph.D. or a professor that does not make one notable enoguht for an encyclopedia entry.--Nick Y. 00:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep He is clearly more notable than the average academic, so he should pass WP:PROF.--Runcorn 07:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. As per nomination. Catherine breillat 23:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. He has a professorship at a British university. If we (per WP:BIO) include people who play ball in American college teams, I don't see any valid argument to delete people who have achieved a real and somewhat important position in academia. up+land 06:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
