Ronald Collé

Husband of K.A. Maroufi-Collé, appears to be non-notable. Son has been adding biographies of the family. Fan1967 05:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep With all due respect, Terence Ong, the fact as to whether or not "spouse" was marked was irrelevent. There are multiple papers published by R Colle over the internet, all having sources. Go look, eh? Laura Bush? Ahhh, yes, notable for murder, no?--Necrypsys
• Delete, spouses are non-notable unless they are Laura Bush or Hilary Rodham Clinton. --Terence Ong 06:28, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Characterization as "spouse" was facetious action by nominator, choosing to list the one more likely to be considered non-notable first. We need to give scientists a fair shake with respect to Pokemon fictional characters, Bangladeshi cricketers, and Japanese actresses. It doesn't matter who listed, numerous publications in professional journals evident from Google search even without bio removed as copyvio, plus editor of scientific journal, NIST Journal of Research.

• Weak keep per the professor test. Most of his papers have citation counts in the single digits to mid-teens, which is very respectable but not evidence that he is more highly regarded than the average professor in his field; however a couple of his articles have very high citation counts (unless there is more than one R Colle in the field of physics). Also journal editor. There should be enough to allow somone to do a better job of explaining importance. Thatcher131 11:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Question Is there any way you can test for citation in standards published by standards organizations? Google obviously gave a hit on a citation in an IEEE standard, but the website is a members site. Gene Nygaard 23:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand the question. Can you post the search url or explain more (on the article's talk page I guess). Thatcher131 03:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, appears to meet notability criteria for published work by significant margin. Monicasdude 20:41, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable, but needs a lot of help. Moe ε 02:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Do not delete:This is true, do your research. --Hawkeye216 19:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The person who writes an article should write it in such a way that makes it clear why the subject should be in an article. Although sometimes people commenting on AfD do independent research to try and help problem articles, this is not a responsibility, it is a gift of our time and energy to the author and the project.
