[edit] Robert Lethbridge

- Keep because of the positions he holds/has held. Tyrenius 18:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I say keep him too. first of all he's a nice guy, and second, as a master of a cambridge college and the holder of such distinguished awards, he deserves a place on wikipedia... --131.111.226.61 19:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- Shouldn't notability be based on what they have done, rather than what titles they have obtained? Andjam 03:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Professor emeritus from the University of London, Master of a Cambridge college - the relevant parts of Academia seems to think he is notable, who am I to disagree? Judging from the Google Books search results, he is a leading Zola scholar. up+land 08:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
