Delete. Two for the price of one. Apparently, neither person is notable enough for an article (or a first name) on their own, but somehow, together they merit a page...not. Clarityfiend 08:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails Google test comprehensively (links back to WP) - If their work was that notable then I'd expect something from the turn of the last century to be better represented and detailed. Pedro | Chat 10:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject they began is documented by tens of thousands of articles (if it was them--the discovery is usually ascribed to Morgan.) L. Doncaster seems from WebofScience to have been an important entomologist & geneticist, and is probably notable; however, I don't have any bio information at hand to start an article. It's GH Raynor, but I see fewer papers. But this pairing is odd, and is best deleted.

However, doing a ghit test on a 1906 paper is even sillier. DGG 03:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
