If you have difficulty in finding the sources, or if it is necessary to recreate the page, keep in mind: seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:

looking like an encyclopedia article not a CV saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" (whatever applies). Use the exact word: "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what people look for here. not going into disproportionate personal details listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets listing important awards listing important memberships and offices held listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible. If he has written textbooks, you need to find on google two schools that have adopted his textbooks for their course--preferable 2 schools for each of two different textbooks listing some major published papers, say how many, try to find in Gogole Scholar. and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very unfortunately, prejudice against people from the academic world.

There is serious prejudice here against articles written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI

If you do not do this immediately, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. If this happens, just recreate it, but take your time--maybe in a week after careful preparation. I apologize for not having the time to help personally.DGG 02:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
