Delete "one of the first 100" to have paid for a trip into space. Definition of non-notabilityDGG 01:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Keep Sometimes we have to look beyond the article. This man is notable as a businessman in biotechnology and there are many ghits for him. I'm going there now to try and sustain the article. JodyB talk 19:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Jody is right, and there is absolutely enough. The material she's been adding is certainly quite sufficient.. Professor of macromolecular science at Case Western Reserve, honorary degree, member of US advisory committees, Chairman or President of several companies, etc. Ref from NY Times. I'll add some of the academic stuff. I'm glad she knew about him, and I wish the guy who started the article had thought to use even Google. People have been putting on and off tags for almost a year, but nobody tried to improve it until Jody did. I congratulate her on the rescue! DGG 23:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
