Henry Millicer[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

fails WP:BIO. no extensive coverage of him as a person, 1 gnews hit [1]. gbooks has a few hits but mostly confirming he has designed planes in 1 or 2 sentences. e.g. [2]. I don't see enough indepth coverage of his career, peer recognition, education etc. LibStar (talk) 02:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very Weak Keep, this book says that Millicer has "won awards in all spheres of aviation", and he was apparently a life member of the SAAA. As the nominator points out, the online sources are pretty feeble, but on the other hand Millicer's professional activity would have been in an era where internet coverage didn't exist.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep - although the article is poorly referenced, his war service and decorations, his work for four different aircraft manufacturers and as the winner of a worldwide aircraft design competition, qualify him IMO. YSSYguy (talk) 00:23, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
