  • Delete Article has no quality, or importance. DeadmanUndertaker 19:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - on first examination seems to pass WP:PROF, as "The person is regarded as a significant expert in his or her area by independent sources" as seems widely cited, including here Extended_Duration_Orbiter#cite_note-osu-10 - (incidentally article doesn't have notification on it at moment so deletion nomination is a bit broken) -Hunting dog (talk) 19:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep, based on the Wright Brothers Medal. This ought to be a solid keep, but after looking up his record in the WebOfScience, the citation results are not impressive with top hits at 20, 19, 11, 11, 11. It seems somewhat low for an active experimental subject like physical chemistry. Still, based on the Wright Brothers Medal I think he deserves a keep. Incidentally, I verified that he did receive this award and the info checked out[1]. Nsk92 (talk) 15:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Nsk92, Wright Brothers Medal tips it for me. Pete.Hurd (talk) 16:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
