Biography of a living person but appears to be none-notable. Justin talk 08:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as a copyright violation of [1]. Edison (talk) 14:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Week Keep I rewrote to remove the copyvio. The article was a little confused, and a brief trip to Google straightened it out. There was another R. Redman, his father Roderick Oliver Redman, Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University, & the description in the article was a mixture. I started the article on him--he is undoubtedly notable. Whether the son is also will need some more work. DGG (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
turns out the son is also notable--published over 75 scientific papers, according to the Astronomical Data System (I counted only those after the death of his father, because ADS uses only initials). The confusing use of identical initials makes a G or GS search relatively difficult--one has to actually look at the items. DGG (talk) 16:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep With changes that have been made, seems clear that subject is notable and it seems to be turning into a useful article. --KenWalker | Talk 16:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep My main reason for nominating it was it was created by an editor whose other contributions had been disruptive. The article was also a copyright violation and a stub. Its been improved a lot since. This is only the 2nd article I've nominated, is it possible to withdraw the nomination? Justin talk 20:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  •  :Reply Yes, definitely possible. Typically you'd just make a statement that you'd like to withdraw the nom, and 95% of the time that will happen soon. I'll be bold, assume that's your intent here, and close it out.--Fabrictramp (talk) 22:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
