• Keep. This article passes WP:PROF as he's a professor Emeritus and has contributed to his field as well as peer reviewing many others. Originally I found this article while on patrol and contested its speedy deletion as it appeared notable (see Talk:Wirt_H._Wills for more on this discussion). When I logged back on, I saw this AfD. I'm back at working on the article, as it needs cleanup. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 00:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, but only because I agreed to pull down my speedy-deletion tag in order to give SynergeticMaggot more time to work on some issues with the article. That agreement was barely 24 hours old when User:Dendodge posted this AfD nomination. That discussion is clearly spelled out on the article's talk page, which Dendodge evidently didn't bother to check. I might add that a simple "Not notable" is grossly insufficient as an explanation for an AfD nomination. It shows no effort at all in explaining why the subject fails notability standards, or any effort to do at least a perfunctory Google search to see if there are any relevant sources that might be added. Sorry, but a simple "Not notable" just won't cut it here. (I'll add that I may agree at a later time that the subject isn't notable, but let's at least stick with the agreement first.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep sufficient published work and discussion of it. DGG (talk) 16:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, but needs a fair amount of cleanup. Stifle (talk) 19:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
